After many miles the coolent temp light is on

The coolant light tells you are low of coolant, so have you checked to make sure that you have enough coolant - between the two marks on the radiator overflow reservoir? If not add and then keep a close eye on the ground under your car for the next few days to make sure that you are not leaking any out.

And if you haven't replaced your pressure cap on your radiator in several years, you might want to consider that.

The little panel that shows the vehicle is flashing a red light across the front of the vehicle. Then "Engine Coolant Low" comes up even though the radiator is full of coolant. How do I reset it? Thanks,...

These days that little light is triggered by the level of the coolant in the overflow reservoir. Assumption being you should keep an eye on that. So I would check the coolant reservoir, generally an opaque plastic jug connected to the radiator by a hose, for a switch or sensor. I would start by removing the whole thing and giving it a good rinse in case that has never been done, and replace that sensor which could well be a dealer item.

Low coolant light keeps coming on and going off.. months ago i had the intake manifold fixed due to antifreeze leak.. but theres no leak i can see.. some small smell of antifreeze but the light comes and...

Well, top off the overflow tank to the marks as indicated based on engine temperature, and see if it happens again, and note how long it took for it to happen.

Oil light flashing, last oil change 7 wks ago

I belive they didn't reset the oil light timer. I belive the sequence is 1. key on (not acc with engine off)
2. step on the brake pedal 5 times within 10 seconds. 3. key off. 4. start car. 5. check if the light went out. you may have to try it a few times to get it.
