Hi,
I got a Low oil pressure stop car warning and it stopped itself. It wasn’t over heating. I filled with oil and car started drives for a few meters then just stops.
It’s a 2013 Z series commodore station Wagon.. any ideas guys?

How low was the oil level? How much did you have to insert to take it up to the "Full Mark"? Trying to work out if you have a real oil pressure problem, a faulty oil pressure sensor, or whether you may have overfilled the engine.

Low oil pressure and car cuts out all by itself, one has to ask has it been serviced regularly or just every 15,000 km and might have missed one or two?

If it has not been serviced regularly then you might have a bigger problem like a blocked oil scavenger or it could be as simple as a bad sensor.
No one is really going to know the answer unless they get a good look at the car and see what has or what hasn't been done service wise.

Is stopping to stop you from grenading the engine.

As above, check oil level and pressure before you wreck it.
