[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Again - you all really need to distinguish between a “low oil” indicator and a “change oil” indicator.  One can be very bad and one is not.[/quote]

[b]if a light comes on after only 4.5k, it's not change oil.[/b] op is burning oil somewhere or didn't put right amount last time[/quote]

Once again, what “light” are you talking about?  Your “change oil” light has nothing whatsoever to do with the actual fluid level and would not tell you if you were low or burning oil.[/quote]

Read carefully. [/quote]

Ugghh.

If you drive 4500 miles, it is entirely possible that your “change oil” indicator light can come on, indicating that your car’s computer has assessed that based on driving patterns, it’s time to change the oil.  It is also possible that your “oil light” or “low oil” indicator could come on, indicating that you are burning oil, have a leak, or have experienced some sort of sudden loss of oil that should be addressed immediately.
