Normal operation on the oil light.

Has this been ongoing or just recent.
Any check engine light?

rough idle at all?

Always consistent?

Is maintenance current? spark plugs intake cleaning in particular?

Any check engine light? no engine check light on when engine started - only when at on - but shoudl go off after 20 secs.

rough idle at all? idle is slow when car started and intermitent when slowing down at lights / junctions, as if going to stall

Always consistent?

Take it back and ask them to check over their work first given the symptoms.
