Well for one those lights just display when you turn the key. to make sure they work. when the car is running is the light still on? have you checked your oil? changed it? About the anti lock brake idk i have the same problem on my pontiac.

take the bulb out for the anti and go change your oil and filter. hell might as well do a tune up and change your air filter. im guessing you havent done any of that right. do it asap

yeah i just check my oil level today. i have low oil. so i just brought the car 2 weeks ago. what oil filter should i use? my engine need more oil should i just add more oil or should i remove all the old oil first before adding any oil?

If you are unsure the last time the oil was changed and it looks remotely dirty, just change the oil. It takes maybe 20 minutes, would run you maybe 25 dollars with your filter included, and is substantial to the life of your motor. I believe you would want to run a 5W30 Castrol oil or 10W30 if you have high miles on the car. At most auto part stores they have a book that will tell you what oil filter your car needs. As far as the ABS light, don't take out the bulb (bad advise). Check the ABS sensors to make sure they are plugged in and not sheared by the wheels. If someone didn't have an ABS tool to replace brakes they might not have pushed the caliper all the way back in and that can sometimes make the ABS light turn on. Also check to make sure you have plenty of brake fluid and that the master cylinder is not leaking. My ABS light came on right before the master cylinder went out and my brakes went out the next day. Replaced the master cylinder, ran new brake lines, and now no ABS light.

5w30 is the recommended oil for your engine.

i just changed my oil today and put in a new oil filter but the oil light is still on. what should i do ? the car is running normal.

I can't help you with the ASB thing, but if your oil light won't go off it could mean that the oil pressure switch/sensor has gone bad. The tip of mine had actually broke off. It's cheap to replace and is located just below and to the driver's side of the oil filter. You'll need to make sure to get one with the warning light function and a 27mm deep socket.

I hope that's the problem, because it could also be a sign of something more $$$.

the ABS light stays on then there might be something wrong with it but here is what i did you have to bleed the master cylinder on till the fluid changes from black dirty to clean and new,then you bypass the abs modual by supplying it with 12 volt positive and negative but make sure you have one bleeder valve open so when the abs forces brake fluid out it goes out completely,then you take off clean out all your speed sensors they might have metal on them cause there magnetic.
