      change oil light on after 1200 miles...???

      I have an 09 aveo5 LS, i changed my oil with royal purple at 14,450 miles and my service oil change light just turned on halfway home at 15,650 miles... it was my first oil change since i purchased the car. Any ideas?

      I hope you bought it used, 'cause 14K on the same original oil from the factory is a little too long IMO.

      And like the guys above said, has the oil been checked? have you checked for any leaks? what weight of oil did you use? And "CHANGE OIL" light sounds like something they added for the second gen? I don't recall having that light at all..
