The "Italian tune-up" may be beneficial for you in either of those cases, but first make sure you have enough oil in the crankcase. Your flashing oil light is a suspect along with the P0011 code.

You never mentioned if you purchased your FR-S used or if you've been the original owner since it was new. You never know what was done (or not done) to the engine prior to you being the second owner. Perhaps the oil changes weren't completed at the proper intervals? Good oil is EXTREMELY important for these engines to survive. Any gunk running through the oil passages can clog something up and cause catastrophic engine failure.
Car is neither turbo'd or running E-85. The car was purchased by me around 2 years ago at 58k miles and is currently sitting at 74k. The car did have a big engine job done before the previous owner sold it. Ill attach what was done in this thread. The J02 recall was also done with the engine job.
