Dave and all,
Thanks for the advice!  I have already gone down and picked up some  Castrol
20-50,
and I will change first thing in the morning.  I will also check for  any
loose wires but I
am beginning to think my mechanic screwed me on that one...replaced the
switch
when it was really the wrong oil weight!  I'll have to ask him about  that
the next time I
see him.  I hope this is it 'cause it will sure be a cheap fix  ;-)
