Oil change and something more

Alon Alero · 05-14-2008, 09:20 AM

Hey everyone.

Today the oil change light came on, but the thing is there is no oil missing and the color of the oil is just fine as well. i changed oil just about a month ago and i put full synthetic oil. only done about 1000 kms since then. the thing im more concerned about is the fact i found oil or whatever it is on the top of the battery cover. it feels and looks like oil to me. is that ok?

The oil light comes on set off by triggers. Miles, Engine Use, etc. Just reset the light

Ya.. the change oil light only works if you reset it when you have your oil changed, then change it when it comes back on, and reset it then again. Otherwise it's just a useless light.

i said how to reset it in that new guy thread for (((king)))

oil on your battery? probably wherever you get your oil changed they spilled some. they do that a lot.
