Oil Pressure/vsc Warning Lights On

Recommended Posts

My car recently passed 5000 miles and I had the oil changed but not a Lexus dealer. Both the oil pressure and VSC lights came on simultaneously shortly thereafter. I called Lexus roadside assistance and was told not to worry about it unless the lights are red (they are both orange). I was told that the lights came on because I didn't take it to a Lexus dealer for the maintenance. Has anyone had this problem? Thanks!

Were I you I would worry.

The VSC light comes on automatically by default anytime there is an engine diagnostic on, nobody has ever explained why.

IMMHO an engine oil pressure light on is ALWAYS a rather serious matter.

Be sure and check that the shop put the drain plug back in properly and the oil filter is tight. And be sure and check the engine oil level via the dipstick provided.

I once had a Lexus dealer add the new oil in without even draining the old so anything is possible.
