Hey guys I just have a quick question. I've just done a fresh oil change about 2 weeks ago and since then when my car is cold just for a second or two max when I start it up my check oil light is on and I can hear a slight knock underneath the hood.
I've consistently checked my oil since the change hot and cold engine and its around the middle to the dip stick of not a bit higher. I've checked for any leaks on my filter and nut on the pan but they're both good. Thanks in advance! I'm off to work so it will be a while for my responses. |

The oil light coming on means the oil pressure is low. If you KNOW you have enough oil in, and you've done everything right, the first thing I'd be concerned about is that your oil pump is failing.
