Your 95 Chevy cavalier check oil light on?

If the check oil light is on in your 1995 Chevy Cavalier, do not drive the car. This is a serious warning indicating a problem with your engine's lubrication system. Driving with low oil pressure can cause catastrophic engine damage.

Here's what you should do:

* Check the oil level immediately. Use the dipstick to determine if the oil is low. If it is low, add oil of the correct type and viscosity (check your owner's manual). But don't start the car yet.

* If the oil level is low, or if the light remains on after adding oil, you have a more serious problem. This could include a leak, a faulty oil pump, or a worn-out engine.

* Have the car towed to a mechanic. Do not attempt to drive it until the issue is diagnosed and resolved. Driving with low oil pressure can lead to a seized engine, requiring a very expensive repair or replacement.

Ignoring the check oil light could cost you thousands of dollars in repairs. Get it checked out as soon as possible.
