I have a 1997 Saturn SL 1 and my oil light has been flashing for a few weeks now. My service engine soon light just came on. What could be the problem?

The first thing i would check is your oil level and then you need to have your code's read to see which one's you find i need the code number's.Let me know what you find.

First check the oil level, if OK then have codes read at most autoparts stores for free. This could be a maint. light indicating an oil change is needed.

If an oil pressure issue and you do not have any ticking,clicking knocking, it is most likely a oil pressure sender.

But oil pressure is nothing to fool with, have it checked ASAP.
