They used different oil too. I dont know what to do any ideas?
Maybe your oil level could have Been low? Causing the engine light to come on and the ecu sensing it also causing your original problem, have you checked the level? if so, then I don't know? other than dumping the oil, and filling it up with ester oil... that was a strange diagnosis...
