The oil light and check engine light came on my 2004 Lincoln LS today

Asked by Gabesmom Aug 26, 2013 at 06:28 PM about the 2004 Lincoln LS

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I saw an oil leak and took it in for an oil change and mentioned this to the repair person.  He said that there was no evidence of a leak and changed the oil.  I drove about 30 miles to a meeting, when I left the oil light came on, then the check engine, then it died just as I was able to pull into the local Ford dealer.  They have it now. Any ideas?

Oil pump failure,or filter failure, improper level by repair facility,if the engine stopped on its own irreversabile damage may have occurred. Engine replacement may be required.

I did not check the oil as I was alone on a busy highway. In that I had just been to have it serviced 2 hours prior, i am thinking the explanation of an overfilled crankcase may be the explanation. The car shut down after the oil and check engine lights came on, so hopefully the computer will be able to know what happened. I should have an answer in a day or two, I will be sure to share it here.

just got done doing a cam tensioner job..I put the oil back in and prestone and fired her up..I used about a gal of oil plus about a half a quart of new magnetic castrol..started to bleed the gas(prestone)bottle also some smoke from what I think was brake fluid and drips (addressing too many issues to be expected) was waiting on the bubbles of prestone but decided to shut down and check oil again I had the other half gal of oil from the drain I added it started her up sounding just that much better and smoke beginning to dicapate was going to take a test spin but my brakes were non existant as to shut down 2nd time but the problem now is there are two patches of oil both right and left side almost symmetrical just behind inner front tires???? started to examine my valve cover gasket job but I cant believe that would mean seriouse black smoke from exaust is there a purge valve or did I blow out a oil pressure gadget or hose ?
