My 2008 chevrolet impala's "check

If the check engine light is on then hook up an OBD reader (which is pretty easy to do and a lot of parts stores do it for free) and find out what the problem is.

engine moter oil should be changed every 3000 milesor 6months . the 6% is estimating you are getting close to your oils peak performance and should be changed soon.

I'd check your grounds from battery to block make sure they are tight and not corroded.

A common cause to your problem is a faulty oil pressure switch. This monitors the oil pressure and when defective, can falsely trigger the low oil pressure light. If the switch is good, the oil pump may be bad. Listen carefully for "ticking" under the hood. This would be a sign of insufficient lubrication to the lifters/rocker arms.

You need to go to Autozone to get your check engine light scanned for a code. It doesn't cost anything. Hopefully, your computer has found your problem. They can tell you why your light is on and tell you what the problem is. This will let you know where to start because they are a few things that can cause your engine to loose power.
