After I fill up my car with gas, I start the car and shortly after the oil light comes on and the engine seizes up. It will do it several times and then if I let it sit for a while it will start and work fine. At first I thought it was just a coincidence that I was at the gas station but it has happened every time now just like clockwork. What could be wrong?

Best check the oil pressure with a mechanical gauge to rule out the oil pump and engine bearings-
