I no longer accept anyone's "probably". Let's find out for sure." I wonder how hard it would have been to check and see what was making the light come on. "
1) Check for oil on the dip stick. If no oil, there is your problem! If there is oil...

Less than 5 minute job. That you found two people claiming to be mechanics that didn't do this is just beyond sad.
It's all related to the principle of increasing incidence of inactivity, wherein the value a null set is arbitrarily defined as being either greater or lesser than, but not equal to zero, and thus incrementable both additively and multiplicably.But - but . . .
