So while driving today i crossed a hevily rutted intersection, i guesss from big trucks or whatever. but anyways, After i crossed it i realized that my check oil light had come on. I don't know if this would have any relation to each other but i though i would let you guys know just incase. So I got home and i checked my oil, it was clean and at about the half full level, so I topped it up to the full line and started up the celica again. The check oil light is still on. Does this mean that i could have a bad oil pump? or could it just be an electrical wire that came lose? Anyways, any opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Does the engine feel heavy or have reduced power? Does your radiator coolant look gunky? Any oil leaks under the car? How do you drive your car? And do you let it warm up before giving it gas?

(Trying to determine whether you have a blown head gasket / cracked head, or an oil leak)

If I had an oil light on and there were no visible signs of anything wrong I would do an oil and filter change (see if some crap was clogging the system possibly by sabbotage) and check for error codes here's how
