Default Gs460 low engine oil

I just got work done on my car last month, I went to the dealership and got my valve cover and oil pump gaskets replaced. Just 2 days ago my light comes on saying low engine oil…My car never done this and I haven’t driven no where far only locally.
I’m thinking they didn’t put enough oil in my car… Or they didn’t replace something properly.

I’m taking my car back to them Tomorrow to see what it could be.
i haven’t noticed oil on the ground.
so I’m lost

what are you guys thoughts?

Take it back to the dealer! But before driving it make sure the oil level is full

Definitely bring back to dealership to check on oil levels. Out of curiosity, how much did the dealership charge for valve cover gaskets and pump gaskets? Looking to do mine soon too. Thank you.

I payed $2200. I took it back and they told me to bring in back at 1,000 miles to see if the problem persists.

yes, I took it back they told me to come back when I get to 1,000 miles to see if it’s something wrong with my engine.and they said since the car is old it might be sucking up too much oil. No leaks were present.

I’ll update you and tell you what they said.

sounds like they just don't want to take responsibility for their error. if your car was using that much oil, it seemed like you have have noticed signs before bringing it in.
