This morning on the drive to work my Jeep flashed the check engine light, the red lightning bolt, and the tcs light before the engine stalled out and shut off. All the electronics stayed on and I was able to pull off to the side of the road and after sitting for a minute and restarting my car only the check engine light came on. It did it once more on the drive to work as well but drove and sounded great on my way back home.
I did check the alternator and everything looks good there, the oil was VERY dark though, like black, I bought the car used from CarMax and the paperwork indicated that the last oil change was done right before I bought it and I’ve had it about 8 months and haven’t even driven it 3000 miles yet and the oil looked fine last month when I checked. I have an appointment at a mechanic tomorrow to go ahead and change the oil and run diagnostics but does anyone have any idea why this would’ve happened?
