 Check Engine Light?



Ok guys here it is,


With homecoming around the corner I figured I would change my oil, seeing how I would be busy on call this upcoming week at work.Well I change the oil and filter,use my reset tool, take her for a ride and bam the check engine light comes on after twelve miles.Can,t figure out, used synthetic bmw recommended viscosity? Any Ideas I am in kind of a panic with HC coming up and that stupid light on

If you filled up with gas anytime recently, take your gas cap off, put it back on, stand on your left foot, touch your nose three times with your right index finger, and chant "My check engine light will go off, My check engine light will go off, My check engine light will go off."

Seriously, you can usually go to Pep Boys and get the codes read out for free. That might give you some clue. Although if you did fill up with gas, check your gas cap to make sure it's on tight.

We would be all just guessing.WITH OUT THE TOOL,I wonder if you set off a low level or high temp switch.That should clear see if comes back..
