Have you ever never met a UL shock? List is $1500. But on the other hand all air shocks are crazy expensive. Mine are now metal springs after I excised the air system.

Yea, the oil light is when the oil level is already too low and you are causing damage to your engine. Pretty much.

again, I havent worked on newer cars much but traditionally the light is oil pressure, not oil level. On other cars if your light goes off stop and get it towed. I do see now that lexus has both oil level and pressure but most cars only tell you when its already broken.
