Engine management light :-s

[N33D45P33D]

i had been driving on the motorway at 120mph and after ta while the E.M.L came on i checked the oil and found out it was low.today i was doing the same amount of speed when the light came on again but this time the oil was ok could it be that i need to change the spark plugs or is it more serious?? i would be grateful if you could help me out with this

Do you mean the engine maintenance light? If you actually have an engine management light, Im not sure any of us here could help you out. If you are referring to the engine maintenance light, then it is just a light scheduled to come on at scheduled mileage throughout the cars lifetime to remind you that maintenance is now required. It does not necessarily mean that something is wrong, just a reminder to perform the scheduled maintenance. There is a way to reset it, I dont really remember it much right now. Someone else will chime in.

Post pics of your car!

The light coming on doesnt necessarily mean that something needs to be done to your car. It is set to come on at certain mileage as a reminder to routine maintenance. Its not like the check engine light which tells you that something IS wrong.....this is just a reminder light. Its basically a light that most people take their car back to the dealership for so the dealership can say "oh yea you need this and this and this replaced" and make money off you. It does not mean something NEEDS to be replaced. But by all means, check everything out. It doesnt hurt.
