Why does my Trac light come on automatically?
(Btw, I read that the trac light comes on automatically when the chk engine light does because that feature disables with any engine issue sensed) Dealership found no reason and light fo off after enough regular cycles. Now I want to sell my car and wish I didn’t have this concern.

How often should I check the oil level in my car?
I always recommend checking the fluids under your cars hood at least once a week. The engine oil lever was so low it wasn’t even registering on the dipstick. Low oil levels reduce the life of the engine and could cause it to seize up depending on how low it had fallen.

How much does a check engine light cost?
With the cost of a shop performing a diagnosis costing around $90, many car owners are turning to the internet to find the cause and remedy. This can work in some instances, but when in doubt, seek professional help. If the check engine light illuminates, it will either blink or remain constantly illuminated, depending on the problem.

What does the international check engine light really mean?
In addition to turning on the light—known as the International Check Engine Symbol—the computer stores a “trouble code” in its memory that identifies the source of the problem, such as a malfunctioning sensor or a misfiring engine. The code can be read with an electronic scan tool or a diagnostic computer—standard equipment in auto repair shops.
