No disrespect but if you make it through this find another shop, the mechanic's guess that the gauge was off seems like a "drive it till it breaks again and return it" guy. Never, ever drive a car with an illuminated oil idiot light or cooling idiot light with reckless abandon, nothing good can happen. I hope your heads are not cracked.

PS I just remembered a customer who blew up his motor. He said to us "the oil light came on but I was only sixteen miles from home so I didn't pull over". Well then get ready to "fork" it over.....
