A check engine light has nothing to do with oil, it is a warning that some part of the engine or emission control system electronic control systems has developed a fault, have the system tested to determine what that fault is, there will be a fault code stored in the powertrain control modules memory

1997 honda civic making a knocking noise as soon as i start it

It sounds like maybe a piston or rod knocking. Check your oil level and make sure it's full.

Hello, I have a couple of questions. First of all my 1991 Honda Civic won't pass the emissions, it is considered a gross polluter and has high Nox and CO. I know this is a common problem in these cars of...

High CO should cancell Nox, catalytic is finished so youll need a catalytic.you cant have those 2 high together.Oil light came on,when the oil light comes on it means that the oil pressure is too low and not enough pressure to lubicate moving parts, checking the dip stick you only check the volume, your oil light checks the pressure.Check the oil again is it silverish,or rich black,and upon start up is there a thud noise? if yes the crank shaft and engine is locking up. So how much ? for the year . Salvage yard , dont rebuild, and here what you need to price a catalytic convertor, and a used engine, I hope this helped

The engine light came on in my 97 civic. 1.6 liter what things could it possibly be?

First check the basics, oil, coolant , belts, hoses, then you may have to plug in an OBD II reader to find the code.
