Is there a problem if the engine oil light turns off after restarting?

It's not a big issue, it might be a false alarm from the engine. Common reasons for the engine oil light to illuminate are as follows: 1. Insufficient oil level: When the oil level is low, the oil pump's output decreases or fails to pump oil due to air intake, leading to a drop in oil pressure and triggering the oil light alarm. 2. Engine overheating: Prolonged aggressive driving keeps the engine under high temperature and pressure. Even with sufficient oil, excessive heat can thin the oil, causing it to leak excessively through the gaps and resulting in low oil pressure. 3. Oil pump failure: If the oil pump's components are worn out or improperly assembled with excessive gaps, malfunctioning can lead to no or insufficient oil output, triggering the oil light alarm.
