Check Engine Oil
Hey everyone,
I have a 2007 G35x Sedan.. I got an oil change last week (not at the dealer) and on the way to work this morning the "Check Engine Oil" message came on the information area near my speedometer.
Does that mean the place probably didnt actually change my oil? Is there anything else that could cause this?
At first i thought it was just my generic maintenance reminder that i forgot to reset or something.. then i realized it specifically said oil with the maintenance reminders dont do.
Thanks for your advice!

wow dude just listen to others. and check yoru dam oil level. **** stop being so dam lazy. if you DONT have any oil in your engine it can be ****ed.
if there is oil in the engine your engine can still be ****ed. but we won't know anything until you eliminate some stuff first. there's so much stuff that can trigger that light.

If you have been driving the car with that light on your engine is probably f***, when it came on u should of immediately stopped and check the oil level on the dipstick THIS IS AS BASIC AS IT GETS every man should know how to do this! Pop the hoop and take the stick out and look if its low... Dont Drive the car! Hope u still under warranty Good Luck

Ok are you talking about the "Oil" light that takes up your whole little screen on your dash? or the tiny icon?
If its the bigger one they just forgot to reset the maintenance reminder. There are like 3 different types of maintenance reminders.... my mechanic sets it to 5000 miles so when it comes on (huge pic of oil thingy) I just take it in.

my last two cars were camry's and they were pretty much maintenance-less. I guess i never learned the basics.

yes! thats the one. it took up the whole screen. i get oil changes pretty often so i had not ever seen that indicator before.. which is why it was alarming to me.
