Weak Start? Just Add Oil!

So, I noticed that my car was having difficulty starting, so i topped off my oil, and now my engine starts nice and smooth.

Didn't you ever check your oil when you filled it up with gas? The oil light should *never* come on in a rotary engine, that could mean death pretty dang fast.
