I need more info im takeing it to get the service ebgine soon light checked in 2 days. iwould like to show up to the mechanic with some suggestions or ideas.

 

Replace the oil pressure sending unit. Some cars have an ignition cut out if the pressure drops below a certain level.(Not sure if this is true on our cars, never had the problem) The sensor could have been damaged by having the wrong amount of oil in the engine. Best bet is to start there, it's a cheap thing to try, and you can do it yourself.

Also, I believe shaking at idle with an oil pressure problem is normal.
