Engine rattle(?) and rpms dip when car is idle, either in park or stopped at light/in traffic. Just went 4k miles over oil change and oil level was low when changed about 30 miles ago.
SOURCE: Have 92 Accord LX idles low when running and problem cranking
does it have a throttle body or fuel injection?
SOURCE: check engine light went on
the check engine light is for the engine electronic controls, there is a fault, have the trouble codes tested by the dealer to see what is making the light come on. I assuming this light is yellow/amber colored? if not, and it is red it is a low oil pressure warning light, in that case the oil pressure sending unit on the engine may be defective.

THAT PARTICULAR CODE IS CAUSED BY A CATALYTIC CONVERTER DEFECT. YOUR OIL BEING LOW SOUNDS MORE LIKE IT COULD BUT MAY NOT POSSIBLY BE YOUR STALLING PROBLEM. IF THE CAT IS STARTING TO GET CLOGGED U WILL START TO GET STALLING MORE ON THE ACCELERATOR THEN OFF. YOUR BACKPRESSURE FROM THE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE CHECKED. THEY SHOULD HAVE NEVER LET U TAKE THE VEHICLE HOME WITHOUT FINDING THE SOURCE OF YOUR OIL LEAK. THE ONLY FLUID ON THIS EARTH THAT DISAPPEARS OVER TIME IS WATER. YOUR OIL IS GOING SOMEWHERE AND IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED. SORRY TO SAY BUT U HAVE MORE THAN ONE PROBLEM. THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER ISSUE NEEDS TO BE FIXED AND YOUR OIL LEAK FOUND. SOME OF THESE DEALERS ARE CROOKS. IF YOUR CAR IS STILL STALLING ALWAYS TRY TO GO BASIC FIRST SOME OF THE SIMPLEST THINGS COULD BE CAUSING YOUR STALLING.
SOURCE: 2003 honda civic dx oil pressure light comes on and off
have u noticed any blue smoke on start up or while driving if so possibly piston rings
SOURCE: The oil light blinks intermittently. Restarting
have someone put a mechanical gauge in place of the oil pressure sensor and record oil pressure, it should be between 20 and 60 psi, if that's ok, probably the sensor. unless you have means to check the circuit I'ld replace the sensor.

Engine has stalled 2x now. Idles around 500rpm when issue is presenting.
