I have 1998 Nissan altima and I made a mistake and ran it without oil and I ended up putting too much oil. My mechanic drained the oil and put the right amount in but it has a slow takeoff

Referring you to hubby, an excellent mechanic. We have Altimas. He will help you. [email protected]

This could be your wheel bearing,raise front end on bad tire side and grab tire and move it around to see if it is loose,http://www.autozone.com/autozone/repairinfo/repairguide/repairGuideContent.jsp?fromSearchPage=true&pageId=0900c15280265793&partName=Front+Wheel+Bearings&partId=0900c15280265793

check battery in the key chain it opens up and the a button battery inside the key chain

This shows the an oil pan diagram and shows the shape and location of the drain plug on it.http://www.autozone.com/autozone/repairinfo/repairguide/repairGuideContent.jsp?chapterTitle=Engine+Mechanical+Components&partName=Engine+Mechanical&pageId=0996b43f80381f0c&subChapterTitle=Oil+Pan&partId=0996b43f80381f09

You are probably going to have to change the spark plugs. They could have gotten fouled out from the oil based fuel.

gosh, nissan spent 6 million dollars replacing faulty/leaking fuel injectors around that time ...maybe its worth a trip down to the dealer and do a campaign/recall search on your car...might be a car that was covered under that campaign and you might get injectors covered

The oil light means you have low oil pressure but not necessarily low oil.
Low oil pressure can lead to serious engine problems and should be fixed right away.

Check oil pump, that is probably not working. If the oil pump is fine you have a big oil leak.

Hi

The thing is that the car suppose to be idling and at "Normal operational temperature" with the engine idle and parked on an level ground.

Then check the level ...
