Thumbs down Oil Gauge...

I just recently noticed when i start my car, instead of the temp or my MPG on my left LCD, my oil light keeps popping up, i just had the oil changed last week and thought that would get rid of the problem, it did but only for a week, now its back... any suggestions?

Oil light? As in the reminder? Just go in and reset it.

as far as i know from reading the manual those 2 oil gauges you are talking about are only there as a reminder to 1. change your oil and 2. change your oil filter. They do not serve diagnostic purposes whatsoever and most likely what you're running into is just a simple mistake by whoever changed the oil last as sometimes they forget to reset both gauges after changing the oil and filter.

Put the oil plug back in that the tech forgot to replace and put more oil in.

It's just a maintenance reminder, whoever changed your oil didn't reset it.
