Check Engine Oil Message?!?!
hey guys,
I just got my car for 2 months now... 3000 miles... and a check engine oil pops up everytime i drive it for 10 mins or more. Imma call up the dealer to check it out, but do you think it's just low oil?.....

One way to find out...Open your hood and check the dip stick.

Be brave & pop your bonnet ( Hood) yourself , pull out the dipstick & check the oil level yourself .It could be a rewarding experience.

Good Luck with that!! Most likely low oil. If that is the case, just top it off with 0w-40 and the check engine oil light will go off.
