I own a volvo v40 1.9TD 1997 p-reg,my only problem is after about 10 mins
driving the oil warning lamp comes on.I have checked the level which is
just below the max mark.Could this be the oil service light i've heard
about?.So if i have a oil/filter change will this warning light go out or
could it be something more sinister.Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Check the oil presure with a gaufe - it could be the oil switch that is
defective.

It could be that you're using wrong oil wiscosity.
When the oil gets warm it becomes to thinn, so the pump can't maintain a
pressure.
