??? you have a leak if your check oil light came on. Check your oil level. Don't waste your money and get another not needed oil change. If it was 1600 miles ago you have lots left on that oil change. You need to see if there is a leak because chances are that you have one if it is the oil level light.

Default RE: Oil Question

what type of oil are you using?
milage on the car?
what engine do you have?
leaving any oil spots?
any smoke or oil on the side of the engine?

All you need to do is top off the oil, but we need the above answerd to help you more
