The oil light came on at first but guess what happened after I changed the oil? The light doesn't come on anymore. The car seems to run fine; it just has a knocking sound. If anyone knows anything about this, I'd appreciate your opinion. Thank you.
Depending on how hot the engine actually got. Sounds like you do have internal damage, and a rod got warped. I don't think it's going away and will possibly do furthur damage with continued driving.
