I suppose that's positive really. Could be I hadn't lost loads of oil, just enough to trigger the light. I then overfilled at the side of the road and got trailered home. I guess if I check the engine on Saturday I'll find out by the dipstick.
Am I right in thinking that if the filter isn't secure then that affects the flow, which affects the pressure which then causes the oil light on the dash? In other words, once the filter worked loose enough the engine could have sufficient oil in it but the oil light would still come on?
Clutching at straws but in this situation, you've got to remain positive
