    Glad it was simple... Usually the gas cap throws a check engine light and 2 quarts low on oil throws Check Oil light.

    If you are 2 quarts low between oil changes (assuming oil changes are 3-5K miles), I think you have additional problems. That's a LOT of oil loss/consumption. May be a sign of failing lower intake gaskets.

    And I recall you mentioning the car runs "hot", especially if you're stopped for two long. I really suggest you get that fixed (again, that could just be a failing thermostat, cheap, fast and easy to change).

    I & Warden are planning to get this Grand Am GT (hopefully) then the PIRANAH will be retired the the mech shop. But thank you for all your help.
