Got oil change 1 wk ago, now service light on and oil level is at 15%?

What could have happened? I'm going back to the same garage today and don't think I should have to pay anything for whatever the issue is... the way I see it they must have not actually changed the oil or overseen a huge issue. There's no way one week after an oil change (about 200 miles driven) that my oil life should be down to 15% and my service light on. Any idea what could be wrong?Got oil change 1 wk ago, now service light on and oil level is at 15%?
Just reset the oil light, someone forgot to do it.Got oil change 1 wk ago, now service light on and oil level is at 15%?
step one..check oil level


then go have them scan and reset it...could be something unrelated to the oil change...after all you drove 200 miles before lite came on...dont get an attitude untill you know the facts...
Actually it's not a huge issue at all. Your car has an oil monitor system which does everything except actually monitor the oil. (Don't worry, that's how they all work). What it does it monitor the temperature, the Miles driven, and how hard you drive the car. When it's time to get the oil changed, the light comes on. Lots of times when people get the oil changed they don't reset the oil life. You have to tell the computer that you put new oil in it so that it knows to go back to 100%





check your owners manual and it will tell you how to reset your oil timer. it's usually very easy. Insert key, press brake 3 times. turn off key, turn key back to on. or something like that. Some cars are even esier, mine you just go to the oil section on the computer display, then hold the reset button.





I should say, the oil life is much different than oil pressure. If it's your oil pressure light that is on, you have a big problem and should check your oil level. If you have low oil pressure then you may have no oil, which would likely be due to them not putting the drain plug back on tight. Again, you will need to use your owners manual to determine what the oil pressure light looks like on your vehicle.
