holy fuck! you went 10K over an oil change? you should have changed it 4 times since!

That CEL could be telling you to find a spot in a junkyard.

j/k, but really, you should try to stay on top of that, it's the most important maintenance on any car

Yeah bro change that oil every 3,000-4,000 (streaching it if you have synthetic) I know you check it often though because with our cars 10k over with no checking would prolly mean a dead car. Do the key dance or go to autozone and have your code read, it doesn't mean oil change though. Let us know what it is and please for the love of your car change that oil.
