Hi! I was wondering if any of you guys have this problem before. The other day, i noticed that my oil sign warning was on everytime i put the ignition in on. so i went and checked my oil lvl and found out it was less than 1/4 . I immediatly added a quart of oil hoping that it will go away. But when i went to work the next day it was still there. So i just did an oil change, and the oil lamp sign is still there. does anyone know what i have to do? or do you think there are other problems?

thats normal dude, the engine is not running, meaning the oil pump is not turning, meaning no oil pressure. once you start the car, the pump turns, thus making oil pressure, hence the light turns off

If you are driving and one comes on that is a different story. |
