>>>Be sure the mechanic uses syntec oil. OEM oil is syntec.

another wired thing is these days some time when we turn left, the engine oil light suddernly turned on for a few blink then went off. I think it might be a misfunctioning of the circuit, as if there is a problem, after starting the engine, it should stay on always.....any thoughts?
>>>if the oil level is low, the car turning right will surge oil to the right, and thus starve the oil pump until oil gets back enough to keep the oil lines pressurized to turn off the oil indicator.

My dipstick has a plastic part molded onto the stick to clearly show where the oil should be; if it's not on the plastic area or at the low end, it may cause the oil light to blink. How fast were you going into your turn?
