the car:
1992 Toyota Previa
4 cylinder, 1.2 litre (she thinks it's 1.2)
~110,500 miles
Ok, my mom said the oil low light came on when she started the car up this afternoon (comin home from work). Thing is, she has over 1000 miles left before the standard oil change (eveyr 4k miles for this car). There isn't any oil visibly leaking onto the ground.
Anyway, she says she's never had the oil light come on before, even when she drove well more than 4000 miles between changes.
Uh, she just got home, so when the thing cools down, we'll go outside and check the oil level...see if we can see any leaks or other obvious problems. Other than that...she'll prolly take it to the dealer 2maro
On a side note, the thing was making odd noises this morning. It was like a whirring noise, kind of the sound you hear when u board the plane (idling engines, on a jet). But not quite as loud...dunno how else to describe it.
any ideas? thanks
