Hi Spiderman - I known your engine (from 155/156) but not from your model.
Says the owners manual anything about the oil warning light also check for oil level?
If it does, the level indicator might be the cause.

What I meant was, if there is a "low level warning" in the system for the oil warning light, it might be faulty or too sensitive.
On earlier Fiats and Lancias, this was a common fault.
