The XO indicator on a 2008 Nissan Altima is the "Oil Temperature Warning Light." This light will come on when the engine oil temperature becomes too hot. This can be caused by a variety of issues, such as low oil levels, restricted oil flow, or a malfunctioning oil cooler.
To reset the light, you will need to turn off the engine and let it cool down. Once the engine is cool, check the oil level and add oil if necessary. If the light remains on after adding oil, or if the problem persists, it is best to have the vehicle checked by a mechanic
My best research shows this engine holds only 3.8 liters. If the engine is overfilled, the crank and connecting rods will be submerged in oil and can aerate air into the oil as it turns, causing low oil pressure, causing the light. If it is high enough to touch the piston bottoms, engine damage can result.
Not Likely. You need to have an oil pressure test performed. If the pressure is low than running the engine low on oil has caused excessive main and rod bearing clearances. having the engine rebuilt is expensive. Either install a known good, used engine or get a re-manufactured engine w/ a good warranty. The best reman is made by Jasper Engines and Transmissions and come w/ a 3 year 100,000 mile warranty.
best advice here is to ask a local mechanic to have a look as engine shouldnt have started knocking with teh new oil in unless someone has put tranny fluid into teh engine or something stupid ,the lights for the airbag shouldnt be connected but the oil light ?? Do not drive car untill a mechanic has come around and checked it out for you though as this oil light coming on and knocking noise is serious
The check engine light will not come on because of two different oils. The engine has no idea if your using synthetic or conventional. The best thing to to is see why the light has come on by scanning the computer for codes. Code readers have become relatively affordable. $50 will get you a decent one. Otherwise give your local parts store a call and see if they can scan it for you.
Once you know what code(s) are present it will be a lot easier to determine what the problem is.
Make sure your gas cap is tight and the oil cap is tight.
low oil would normally set off an individual warning.. either way when You topped off the oil it would automatically reset the light.. the check engine light comes on when an electrical component sends a signal, the best thing is to take your car to a qualified mechanic so he can use his scan tool to get the code from your car. It could be most anything from an O2 sensor (the typical first engine check light) to your cars computer..
The oil change wouldn't cause this problem. There are many emission sensors in the car that will make the engine light come ON. Best way to find out what's going on is to have an auto-parts store hook up a engine code reader and tell you what the code means. Most auto-part store will do this for free.
