The oil light isn't for oil level, its for pressure. if the oil is touching the lines on the dipstick, you have plenty. don't overfill it, that will cause other issues, such as smoking and misfiring. make sure the level is between the lines on the dipstick. if the level is correct and the light is still on, there is an internal oil pressure problem, such as oil pump, clogged oil passages, or worn out engine bearings (cam, crank, rods). you should not drive the car if it is full of oil and the oil light is on. have it towed to a shop or serious engine damage could occur, if it already hasn't

Why is it leaking oil from oil filter after i did oil change??

Hello,

Not good.

Wrong filter, damaged filter or filter not tight enough.

Double check.

Did you get an oil light on dash (2 quarts low).
The computer may have shut the engine down before engine failure if you are lucky (oil light). If you did not blow your engine (sieze) and you fix the filter problem put some 'lucas' oil in your engine to help with excessive friction caused by low oil level.

I hope this helps.

Oil lite comes on at low idle

will try to help but have to ask the question,have you checked the oil level with engine off? sorry, you most likely have, but had to ask. how long since last oil change? could be a clogged oil filter not letting oil flow fast enough. last but most expensive,oil pump may be going bad,or better yet,a weak oil sending unit. recomennd you change the oil and a good filter,such as a fram filter,and add one quart of lucas oil treatment to the oil change.lucas gives alot more top end lubrication to your engine than regular motor oil. try this before you move on to other issues please. and as always if we can assist you further,please repost your questuion and we will be happy to assist you! thank you for choosing fixya.com

My car has a oil leak and i added a quart the other day and now the oil light is flashing and remaining lite sometimes. i checked the oil and there is actually a liitle over full in it.

Over-full can be just as bad as under-full. The crank will make contact with the oil and cause a froth of oil and air. Air is a very poor lubricant and will cause serious engine damage. Park the vehicle on a perfectly level surface and shut the engine off. Wait at least 30 minutes and then check the oil level. If it is over-full drain out enough to get it down to the full mark. Never ever over-fill an engine. Your car holds 4.5 quarts with filter change.
