Ok so as yall all know, i got another new engine... so its been 220 miles on it so far and
around 130 miles the oil light would go on as soon as id start the car, but after it would

driving. I just bought a case of RP 5w-30, idk whether to change the oil or take it back

light comes on in this engine i dont see any oil leaking and ive checked the oil levels, their
fine... UGH idk wtf to do... please help..

I zoom therefore I am.
so you checked your oil of course and it was at what mark?
and you placed some paper or cardboard under the car when you parked it and were there any signs of drips?

That new company is (drumroll here) Mazda. They have opened a new reconditioning facility in Virgina. One of the employees has been posting here.
I'm on engine #4. When my last one was replaced, the oil light was on. That was because it was pumping oil into the intake track. There was oil in the accordion hose and in that little plastic square box by the throttle body.
