the very first step is to check oil level... don't just ignore it... this could be simple fix... Side note how low on oil do you need to be to get a CEL?

There is a low and full line on our dipstick. Take a picture?

You can clean the end of the stick off with a wire brush to brighten it up.

The steps that I posted above are straight out of the book, it's what a dealership will follow. Then they'll start guessing. I suggest doing as many of the steps above as you can.

You said you replaced both of these guys right?
