Ok so remember me? Hahai finally got my ls out of the shop after two months. I got my trans, clutch, slave cylinder, and fly when replaced. So after I get it back, I decided its time for an oil change. So I take it over to my local meineki. (or however you spell it). I tell them my car takes 7 quarts of 5w20. I get it back and everything cool. Next day im driving and my oil light blinks and flickers and stays on. Randomly. I pull over and look under the car and I was dripping a little bit of oil. I checked my oil the day of the change and it was fine. When I pulled over I also checked and my reading int he dipstick was perfect. Why is my oil light coming on? I went to get another oil change. This time i watched them and took pictures of everything so i could show meineki. My oil bolt was stripped, so was my pan hole that the bolt goes into. The magnetic bolt has metal shards attached to it. The oil that was drained looked like dirty water. Looking into my oil pan with a light, we could see bits of metal shards also. One of the threads from the stripped oil pan ripped the o ring gasket that goes around the bolt. Oil had leaked all over the bottom of my car and some onto the oil filter. (before taking the plug out). Im guessing because the ripped o ring? So after they did another oil change, I drove for a little and the light came on again.
The light only comes on at a low rpm after the car is warmed up. When its on, if I rev it then it goes off but once the rmps come back down it goes on again.
Help me!
