Stalled my 2013 Fiesta and oil pressure light came on

Hello,

ive just purchased a 2013 (62) 1.0 eco boost fiesta with 50k mikes. 
I was doing a 3 point turn and stalled the car (still finding the bite) and the oil pressure light came on. 
As I turned the engine back on after stalling the light was gone. 
I tested it again by stalling on purpose and the light came on again and went off after restarting. 
Has anyone else experienced this? The car was serviced just before I got it this week and got a new oil filter and the oil level is fine. 
 

Would love to get some advice on this one as I pray it’s not an engine issue.

    Have you actually checked the oil level?

    Yes I have checked it and the oil is fine. 
    I had my mechanic check the car over after I had purchased it and he confirmed the oil was fine too. 
    pressure light only came on today after stalling - it stalled because of me not because of the oil.

    Sounds perfectly normal to me? Once the engine stops you instantly lose oil pressure.

    Obviously the oil light will come on when the engine is stalled because it's not running hence no pressure. Perfectly normal'

    I'll give a prize (not sure what, maybe two free tickets to see Ken Dodd !!) to anyone that can find me a car that doesn't have the oil pressure light on when not running.

    You'll also note the battery light comes on when you stall it too... :smile:

    Thanks, I’ll pass on the Ken Dodd tickets, his act will be a bit stale after 3 years underground.
