Check Engine Light is not directly related to oil changes and it means an error has been detected in the engine management system.

Parts stores provides free scanning services. Get the trouble code and let us now what it is. If the light is not indicating now, the code wouls till be stored in the computer memory, unless you have disconnected the abttery.
