The formation of [Oɪ], Oɪ and OH lines in metal-poor stars has been studied by means of 3D hydrodynamical model atmospheres. For Oɪ detailed 3D non-LTE calculations have been performed. While the influence of 3D model atmospheres is minor for [Oɪ] and Oɪ lines, the very low temperatures encountered at low metallicities have a drastic impact on OH. As a result, the derived O abundances are found to be systematically overestimated in 1D analyses, casting doubts on the recent claims for a monotonic increase in [O/Fe] towards lower metallicities.
