2001 325i M54
Regardless of the oil level, topped up or slightly low, I keep getting the yellow oil light coming on about 30 secs after start up then goes off 10 seconds later.
Doesn't matter whether it is hot or cold and only happens the once during a drive.
Any ideas welcomed

Don't forget to drain the oil before taking the old one out.

Top tip if DIY oil changes are your thing leave the ignition OFF as draining the oil with the iginition ON is what kills the level sensors as they short out.

Mine has done this since I got it, when I can hear the cams ticking I know it needs some more oil
