Light comes on saying low oil level, stop safely and stop engine. Had oil changed two weeks ago.

The red oil warning light is for low oil pressure. Not necessarily low oil level in the engine.

The oil light is telling you the engine oil pressure is below 10 psi which could damage the engine.
It can be low because of low oil in the crankcase, or various other reasons.
You would need to have the oil pressure checked with a mechanical gauge to verify the light should be coming on.

WHAT LIGHT COME ON.IF LOW OIL LIGHT COMES ON CHECK OIL DIP STICK.OIL LEVEL SHOULD BE ON THE FULL MARK.IF OIL LIGHT COME ON CHECK OIL DRAIN PLUG AND OIL FILTER EITHER ONE COULD BE LOOSE LEAKING OIL.IF OIL LIGHT NOT COMING ON AND YOU SEE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT THAT CAR TO ANY AUTO PARTS STORES.THEY WILL CODE SCAN CAR FREE AND TELL YOU WHAT TROUBLE CODE YOU ARE GETTING.

hi, the oil light in your vehicle comes on to let you know that the oil pressure or level is low. sounds like the oil change was performed, but the oil level was not returned(not filled) correctly, or not filled at all. also a possibility that the oil leaked out from a leaking oil filter or drain plug. you should check the oil level on the dipstick before you drive again. if it is low, or empty, the engine will likely blow very soon. fill the oil if it is low until it shows on the dipstick. then top off until on the full mark. or, call the shop that performed the oil change and have them tow your vehicle back to have it serviced correctly. you should be upset at this fact, there should never be a time when you just have your oil changed and the oil light comes on soon after. this generally tells you that your vehicle was not serviced properly.

Im not 100% shure on this model car but check the oil and other fluids to see if they are at a good level. the computer might have put your car into a type of safe mode to not burn up the engine.

Hi:
The first thing to do, of course is to check your oil? Even though you had an oil change two weeks ago, you could have a bad gasket on your new oil filter, or there could have been a oil plug problem, or it could be just a sensor failure. If your oil is really low, you need to take it some where to find the leak. IF the oil level is ok, then you need to troubleshoot the sensor .

It sounds like your engine is low on oil. When you get home, turn your engine off, wait 5 minutes, the pull the dipstick and wipe it clean and re-insert fully, then pull the dipstick out again and look at the end of it; you will see the recommended level etched into the dipstick, if the oil level shows low (and it's a good bet it will), you need to add oil...and never use that shop again.

If the level is normal, the oil pressure sender may be faulty...ask your mechanic to check it and replace it if necessary.

i am pretty sure the oil light comes on when the key is turned to the ON position, then goes out after it starts (providing oil quantity is not low). if it stays on after it starts, then may be an issue with sending unit.

mention it to the dealer when you take it in and they should be able to further diagnose.

BTW, what service is it going in for is oil service was performed 5000 miles ago?

I had the same issue on my '01. I hoped the issue would just go away, but when it didn't I took it into the dealership. They found a sensor that had gone bad and replaced it. Fortunately, it was not engine-threatening. As I understand it, oil lights are not designed to tell you if your oil is low, it usually means your pressure is low, which could mean a compression issue. Better get it checked out soon if you haven't already. You may want to find a good auto repair shop (I found one on cartalk.com) rather than taking to the dealer.
