I changed my oil in my 1993 accord EX 4 door with 162,000 miles on it's 2.2 liter engine. Local store was out of fram filter I use so I got a purolator micro or something like that. I changed the oil and checked my trans. After the oil change I got my first oil light ever. I checked levels and all were fine. After three days and 25 miles to be safe I changed it again this time with a fram oil filter. Again the levels are fine yet I'm still getting the oil light. What could cause this?

You may or may not have low oil pressure. This NEEDs to get looked at. IF you have a gauge that you can check the oil pressure with, hook it up to where the oil sending unit is. At idle the pressure should be 10 pounds, at 3000 rpm is should be 50 pounds. May have a bad pump, clogged pump or other.
