Moved to your own thread. Bumbing old threads is typically frowned upon.

Also, check your oil level. Assuming it's properly filled now when you did an oil change 2 days ago with your oil light on is asking for problems.

Verify the oil level is correct.

Also. DON'T DRIVE THE CAR, until you get that oil light problem solved.

Failure to heed this last warning will quite likely cost you your engine. Which in turn usually means scrapping the car for most people.

You can verify your CEL works by turning the key to the on position. The CEL (yellow engine) light should light up for 2 seconds then go off after the fuel pump finishes priming.

And lastly, report what make model year and trim of car you are talking about. I can only assume you have the same 2000 Si as the old thread you bumped.
