First, I searched the forum and everyone seemed to have issues where the car stalled or had noises, and well a tone of other things.
Just wanted to put my situation forward, and see if I should still do the Spark Plug pull, Oil Change, Crank of the Engine, and Compression check.
Driving home after work, went down a normal back road that normally doesn't flood. Unfortunately, I went over a hill and right afterwards was a nasty puddle. I was able to drop down to at least 20 mph, and coasted through with no further push on the engine. Afterwards, I noticed the Oil light sort of flickered for a like 10-15 minutes afterwards when I pressed on the gas. Went to a friends house and let the car run to kinda air our my CAI filter.
On the way home, was going down the highway when I hit a damn puddle I couldn't see at about 40 MPH. Hit on the passenger side thankfully, however afterwards the Oil Light lite up like a Christmas Tree. Since the highway was 60 MPH, the light immediately went out and didn't come on at all.
I drove around for another hour, and no noises, or differences in how my car accelerated nor power. Getting the oil changed this weekend anyways. Just wanted to know if I really should do the other steps, or it's not really needed?
PS: Isn't there a filter or cover I can put on my CAI filter that prevents or limits the chances of water being sucked up? Can't find it... unless I am just blind and don't know what I am looking for.
