Here's the issue. I was driving my 87 325es up Mount Seymour in BC with a couple of passengers and the Check Engine Light on the gauge cluster starts flashing. I turn to the warning lights above and see that the check oil light is on as well.
Once I reach the top of the mountain, I keep the engine running and open the hood. Engine seems to be working fine and the oil level appears to be between the minimum and maximum points on the dipstick.
I met up with a few other cars on the mountain and we continued to cruise along the Sea-to-Sky until we reached Porteau Cove with the warning light flashing the entire time. We stayed there for a couple of hours before we then drove about back the other way for a photoshoot. Weirdly, during the trip back the Warning light stopped flashing. However, after leaving the photoshoot, the Warning light started flashing again all the way back home.
My question is what might be the potential problem with the car? Obviously climbing that mountain might have taken a toll but I just don't know how. For the entire day I drove it the car drove fine and the engine was acting normally. The oil level was just below 1/2 soo I'm wondering if I maybe need to do an oil change for the summer.
