A few more issues with the $1000 2000 S70 that I am afraid of! I finally registered the S70 today and I dont think I should have. On the way home from registering the car the oil light came on. NOT good was scared made sure to turn the AC off and radio down to listen for strange noises. Drove it home after the light was lit about a half mile. I know I am in need of replacing the oil trap system and am guessing the oil pan O-rings. Does the oil trap have anything to do with the oil light ocming on?
I changed the oil and filter as soon as I got home just hoping that the oil and filter was dirty which it was. After the filter and oil change the lite still lites up after the engine warms up. I will not be driving the car till this is fixed. I have read to check the o rings in the pan, idle the engine for 2 mintues till warm shut the car off and remove the dipstick clean it, pull it again and look for airbubbles. No bubbles.
There was a weird issue with the filter change. It looked like there was some type of copper shavings from the oil filter. After the oil filter sat on the oil drain bucket, I could see shaving that looked of copper. Does anyone have any idea if this could be some type of oil additive of some type like a snake oil or something? What should I do?
Also got anyother code P1672. I have done internet searches and forum searches not leading to much information. Anyone have any idea what this code leads too?
Please post,
Any advice would be appreicated!

The first step when the oil light comes on is to turn the engine off, IMMEDIATELY, not turn down your climate control so you can hear if something bad will happen. The copper is from engine bearing material, probably from driving with no oil pressure. That half mile could have been the last straw. Continuing to run this engine with the oil light lit for any amount of time is absolutely insane. STOP, and fix the sump o-rings as a first step, if you haven't already toasted your motor.

Clogged oil pan screen.
Run vehicle untill warm/hot (idle) if the light comes on turn off the vehicle instantly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Right after shut down, drain the oil into a very clean container. After strain the oil through a cloth and not how many particles some out. Repeat this unit it comes out clean. Reusing the same oil...
Use 20weight, thinner the better.
Without knowing more that's my first conclusion. Whatever you do dont drive the vehicle. Never let the light stay on!!! When it's lit there is no oil pressure and damage happens fast.
