what is the difference between this light on the cluster and the "engine oil" light on the check panel? the check panel light came on pretty much exactly 3000 miles from when I last changed the oil, so I figured it was telling me I needed to change the oil, so did. its only.been about 1000 miles since that last oil change and the cluster oil service light just came on. what's the deal?

check pannel light is for oil level, oil service light on the cluster is a reminder light to change the oil. -
ok, then what is the oil "can" light on the far right side of the cluster for? I thought that was an indicator that oil level was low?Originally posted by ttrousdell View Post"Once more into the fray."

Oil can light is oil pressure (low). It comes on at 7 lbs i think.Lorin
