Summer's a prime time for road trips, but logging hundreds of miles also means you’re more likely to encounter vehicle trouble. Warning lights can make any driver nervous, but if you know what each light means, you’ll be able to handle any problems that arise.
Oil Pressure Warning Light
Imagine the sound of two pieces of steel grinding together without a lubricant. That’s the sound your car could make without enough oil. The oil pressure light doesn’t tell you when it's time for an oil change (although some cars can do that), but it will tell you if there are low levels of oil, or if the oil pressure is low. This could be a result of a punctured oil pan, a leak or a number of problems. If your oil pressure warning light turns on, pull over safely, turn off your car immediately and add oil. If you run the engine without oil, it will seize because the metal parts won't be able to move against each other. That kills your engine.
The cost of diagnosing and fixing an oil leak on a 2007 Honda Accord with a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine can cost between Php16,780 and Php22,628, according to RepairPal. That's a lot to dish out at once, but it's less than replacing a seized engine, which can cost Php211,875 or more.

MANILA, Philippines - Umaasa ang Light Rail Transit Authority (LRTA) na mauumpisahan na ang rehabilitasyon ng 30-taong gulang na LRT Line 1 sa darating na Marso upang mapataas ang kalidad ng serbisyo at seguridad ng milyong pasahero nito.
Sinabi ni LRTA spokesman Hernando Cabrera na limang lokal na korporasyon at isang dayuhang kompanya na ang nagpahayag ng pagsali sa bidding para sa P1.06 bilyong kontrata sa naturang rehabilitasyon.
Kabilang dito ang DM Consunji Inc. (DMCI), Pilipinas Hino Inc., Jorgman Development and Planning Corp., Joratech Corp. at Miescorrail Inc. ang mga lokal na kompanya habang Japanese industrial giant Sumimoto Corporation ay nagpahayag din ng interes sa proyekto.
Nabatid na may limang bahagi ang planong rehabilitasyon sa LRT Line 1 na inumpisahan ang konstruksyon noon pang taong 1981 sa panahon ni dating Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos.
Melenco Vargas, president of 1-UTAK, said the conversion of EDSA into a tollway would be similar to a scheme practiced in Singapore, wherein motorists are charged upon entering a designated zone in business districts during peak hours.
He said the proceeds of the toll should be used to maintain EDSA, upgrade the Metro Rail Transit and perhaps for the construction of a “second level” of the highway.
Vargas said there should also be a parallel effort to develop alternate routes for those who do not want to pay the toll.
