    it came on a couple weeks ago and i was nearing an oil change. so i changed it today and its still on. it will come on when i first start the car then go off after a couple minutes. this would happen before i changed the oil too. oil level is fine now, it was a bit low before i changed it though. i dont understand why its still on though, any ideas as to why?

    You have to reset the oil change light. The other oil light means your engine has less then IIRC 4psi of oil pressure and is ready to implode.

    look in your manual. if it's the oil life light it's real easy to turn off.
