I have a 2010 GT and my check engine light just came on....there are 6000 kms on the car all fluids are topped....the dealership I bought the car (Chrysler) did an oil change just before I drove it home....I noticed the oil temp was a little on the hot side could that cause a check engine light to come on...or any other suggestions ?

If they put the wrong oil in might that do something, car runs great

 

Oil Temp? It wouldn't have an oil temp gauge. Should be water temp, oil pressure, batt voltage and fuel.

I would take it back to the dealer and have them check the code. Could be something very simple.

 

That's not oil temp? It has a oil can and then C at one side and H at the other....I'll probably take it to the dealer still full warranty on it....I was just curious if someone else out the had some insight

 

And thanks

 

Top left is fuel level
Top right is engine temp
Bottom left is battery voltage
Bottom right is oil pressure.

 

Sorry pal your right I thought it hot and cold .......well then the oil pressure was a little on the high side......it's my first mustang and then the check engine light comes on so I was searching for an explanation.....I'll take it to the dealership today

 

Yeah the oil pressure on mine runs on the higher side of normal too.

 

Ok good....just going through the process of elimination taking to dealer tomorrow thanks

 

Well just a heads up, the battery and oil pressure gauges are pretty much worthless. Anything in the middle or just a bit high is normal. If you ever have a problem, it'll suddenly go waaay high or waaay low. But by then, it's too late.
