Maintenance light came on from hitting rock?

Detox · 04-19-2009, 02:46 PM

So i was in a stone parking lot that had some rocks sticking out a couple inches. Now my oil life is at 15 percent now, but when i was backing out i kinda scraped the front of my si over the rock, nothing major, no oil leaks but my maintenance light came on as soon as i scraped. Is it coincidence that it came on or did i really jar something when i scraped. The oil life says 15 % and b1, checked the manual but didnt really help. Anyone got any ideas?

I think it was just a coincidence,because the light come on as soon as you hit 15%.
