Default im @ a loss

I have a 7th gen MC... I recently started experiencing the low oil pressure light coming on, service tms indicator, service air bag (once)..the most annoying right now is low oil pressure..this starts mainly after driving highway speed.. it seems to happen when hits hot after driving a period of time.....Any thoughts.....

x2 is your oil level actually low???

You might be having some faulty readings from the BCM just throwing codes at you.

I would go get it changed again somewhere else and see if that helps, if you can't do it yourself.

Sounds like it is either burning oil or has the wrong weight in it to me. Maybe it has gotten older and needs to use a higher weight, higher mileage oil.

your supposed to be running 5w30 i dont think its a weight issue. some of the guys i believe on tech had this issue before. i believe it was a sensor. go to ls1tech and do a search in the ls4 section. that is if its an ls4 car.
