It may not have anything to do with the oil. Go to Auto Zone and have the codes read and repaire them. GoodluckJoe
B. Change engine oil & filter. 2. Change engine air filter & cabin filter. Check all belts. 5. Replace engine coolant.
Check your fuel pump and fuel injectors. Have a fuel pressure and flow test done.
check for clogged fuel filter, incorrect or improperly gapped spark plugs, or ignition timing
No, the check engine light does not come on because your gas is half way full. The check engine light will come on if there is a problem with the engine.
no a burnt out headlight will not cause a check engine light but if you go to most of the part places they will check the check engine light for free
did you change the wires also. if not you probablly have a loose wire for one of the plugs. does it run any different
Auto Zone will check your engine codes for FREE. They will tell exactly what is causing your engine light to stay on. They may even reset it for you.
In line filters are directional. check that filter was not installed backwards look for arrow on the side of filter. arrow should point towards engine an away from fuel tank
check that the O ring was replaced when oil filter was changed. id O ring is good and filter is tight, and housing still leaking, replace filter housing
I have a 2003 Highlander. Whenever I get the oil changed, the check engine light comes on within a couple of days. I finally figured out that there is a hose under the air filter case that gets disconnected when the filter is checked. Just reattach the hose and the light will reset after a few restarts of the engine.
You might not have sealed the air box properly, check the oil level and the plug leads also. If the engine sounds strange, bring it to a garage.
Check to see if it getting spark/fuel Check rotor
A clogged or defective fuel filter will very likely cause a check engine light. If it is suspected, it should be replaced.
The Oil is drained by removing a plug in the oil pan, and letting it run into a pan. The filter is screwed to the side of the engine. After the oil is drained and the filter changed, add oil and check frequently to prevent overfilling.
Yes it can if it is clogged or has an obstruction it will most certainly prevent fuel from entering the engine. Check that you have fuel before the filter (incoming) and then check the output of fuel from the filter.
If the engine is shuttering then it could be the wrong oil filter, if you had just changed your oil then some oil filters work better than others and allow a better flow of oil to the engine. It is a cheap and inexpensive to check and will cost you under $10.00 to buy another oil filter.
None of these maintenance items will trigger the check engine light. The light is on because the computer has detected a problem with the emission system. Have the ECU scanned and retrieve the code. This code will tell you what part is being effected but not necessarily the defective part.
