what is your usual oil change interval? maybe being in dubai = severe conditions = more frequent changes? maybe someone else from uae can chime in ...

Could also be a low oil level? My oil light came on once and I needed about 2 quarts to top it off. Now I'll make it a ritual to drop in 1 quart in the middle of services just for good measure (I'll check, of course, but 1qt seems to be the norm).

I too have to add/top off now and then, between oil changes. I do live in TX though and drive my car pretty hard. I would agree about the light being a "low oil level" indicator. Try adding some and see what happens.
It has been a standard practice for me now.

And again, yes I agree. Do not worry or hesitate if you are having to add more oil between changes.

I always check the oil level when it's cold....with the appropriate "cold" mark on the dipstick....that way, I know exactly how much oil is in the sump....I've always done it that way on all of my cars.
