This morning my car stalled when I turned on the engine (left it in gear the night before, stupid me) and my oil pressure light came up for a few seconds then it disappeared. Will it be fine?

2Assuming this is not a manual (as leaving a manual in gear is quite common AFAIK.) However, check the oil level. If normal I wouldn't worry. – jensgram Aug 07 '17 at 13:59

It's a manual haha literally forgot to put it back to neutral. – Victor Yu Aug 07 '17 at 14:41

Low RPMs are going to lead to low oil pressure. Sounds normal. – JPhi1618 Aug 09 '17 at 18:21

This site already has a few "what gear to leave a parked manual". Answers vary but I have found no evidence (neither on this site nor elsewhere) that parking in a low gear is actually harmful. Actually, that was how I learned to leave a parked car.
As for your question, I would advice that you check the engine oil level. If normal, nothing to worry about.
