I have a 2002 Mini cooper R50 with manual transmission.  Recently I notice that the oil light comes on a bit randomly (I can't seem to figure out any pattern for when it comes on or goes off).

Oil level is good and nothing else seems out of the ordinary so not sure if it's something to worry about?  Ideas on what it might be?

Cheers!

Your oil filter module might be missing some parts - take a look at this article.

Oh, that' might be it!  I recently had the oil changed and my mechanic says they sent him two filters and he used the one that fit best. He's got it in and giving it a look!


THANKS!!
