To answer all of that question yes! most of the light come on when the key is set on or ac, but when i start the car all the light goes off, but the oil light remain on for a couple sec. the oil is above the first dotit line. i used 5 1/2 qt.

if you've got an 02 with 47,000 miles, you should be under warranty for another 3000 miles. I would have the dealer check it. you don't want to mess around with possible low oil pressure or sludge. better start checking everything out so you can find any bugs before your warranty runs out.
