Oil Change Light
Ok, so sometimes after I change my oil, my car will be fine for a few days, and then randomly, the orange Oil Change light comes on when I first start the car. After a couple of minutes it goes away. Any reason why it does this? Its only been 2 weeks and 800 miles since I changed the oil with German Castrol 0w-30 and a K&N oil filter...Should I be worried about the light?

It is also not a measure of how dirty your oil is or how many miles have passed between changes. It is a simple count of start cycles that attempts to predict when you should change your oil.
