Isn't orange oil lamp a level warning? And technically no its not considered part of a service if there was no fault showing, if wasnt doing it when it left them then theres not a lot that they can do about it. It could just be a really bad coincidence its happened so shortly after.
I know it sounds daft and you might have already done it but check the oil level.

I'm not one to stick up for dealers btw :wink:

If the oil level is ok according to the dipstick then it may well be a new level sensor or something :?

Mine does this just when engine has been started and am sure it's part of the checks when starting
