idk wat happen to it but today when i start my car the engine light turn on n stay on. i was thinking that it could be the old oil cuz i was suppose to change oil 1k mile ago.

Any1 know how much dealer charge for engine flush i want to get rid of all the old oil before putting in new oil.

I don't think it would be because of not changing your oil, then the oil light would come on. Just take your car to the toyota dealership or your local service station, they will hook it up and tell you what exactly made your light turn on.

yeah, it isnt because of oil bro. No need for an engine flush, just drain it and let it sit for an hour. Then fill'er up and go get that code read.

Go to autozone / advance auto parts, etc and get the code scanned. They will do it for free. Until we know what your ECU is trying to tell us, there is nothing we can do but make guesses!

Next time hit up autozone or a place like that they will check it for free. Or get an OBD2 reader off ebay.
