My check oil light came on and I immediately stopped and put oil in my car. Later that day when I drove the car again, the oil light was still on. I stopped and put in more oil. When I went to drive off, the car wouldn't start. I think I put waaaaay too much oil in it! I had it towed to a repair shop where they are draining out the oil. The mechanic said that he thinks that some of the oil got into my cylinders. What does that mean? What should they do to fix it? Is my car gonna still be able to drive? About how much should fixing it cost me? (my car is a 2005 Hyundai Accent)
Re: My check oil light came on and I immediately stopped...
Oil breathers blocked due to lack of serving get your engine flushed and hope it resolves your problem. service your car regularly in line with the manual recommendations

Check the opening around the oil filter outlet and make sure that there is no gasket still on the housing. Fram filters are famous for its gasket coming off and sticking to the surface of the inlet. When you tighten the new filter it crimps the new gasket and leaks all the oil out. I have had this happen to me twice. No more Fram filters for me. Buy PUROLATER. Hope this helps

Buy PUROLATER they seem to be the best and they don't cost much more. Hope this helps
try to change the oil temperature sensor and see if that sovles the problem it could be that the sensor is not working and the therefore its not regulating the pressure and blowing off all of the seals.
