2000 Chevy Impala Oil light troubles

You probably have to reset the light and also adding more oil to it-you sure its not being burn in the combustion chamber/cylinders-get an engine compression check-

Ive reset the light,several times and added oil. No im not sure its being burnt in the chamber/cylinders.... are there any other symptoms if thats happening?

If its in the cylinders it will cause the engine to run rough and misfire

Does that light actually say "Low oil level" or just "Oil". I've never seen a low oil level light. The oil light refers to pressure, not volume.

Hi resmataz.

Hello Doc, I hope you had a good FD, good question -check the oil pressure with a mechanical gauge might be the oil pressure switch acting up and giving you the curve ball

The light actually says "low engine oil". It has been running a little rough. It kind of****** when changing gears...not all the time though. I had it looked at and they didnt know what it was. They added an "additive" and it ran smooth again,but soon doing the same thing later.

What was the quick fix additive and where did they put it?

I wish I knew. It was a couple years back. I think it was a transmission thing (?).
