SOURCE: my check engine light came on will that happen

No, there is an oil light usually red shaped like an old school oil can or just says "oil". The check engine light is just a warning from the many sensors in modern engines that monitor fuel, air quality in the exhaust and in the intake, to many other things. You can go to many auto parts stores and they have code readers that they will plug into the vehicle. Auto Zone, NAPA and Schucks are a few. They'll tell you specifically what the problem is usually for free, so you'll buy the part from them. I also suggest you get a repair manual for the vehicle so you can do some minor repairs yourself. Haynes and Chilton are the two I use and you can get them conveniently at the auto parts stores. Good luck to you

SOURCE: 2008 dodge nitro change oil light how to turn off ...

Directions are in the book, but you would put the key in and turn it all the way, just don't start engine. Pump gas pedal all the way to the floor 3 times slowly, but it has to be with 10 seconds. Turn key off and when you start again, oil changed chime and warning should not be on. If it is, try again.

SOURCE: check engine light is on.

you'll need to pull the codes. There are hundreds of possibilities. With the code(s) you will be able to identify the problem a lot easier. Call around, some parts stores will pull codes for free. Shops will usually have a fee that includes the diagnostic time to figure out the cause of the code and determine the correct repair.

Some common things are loose gas cap or O2 sensor issues but like I said it could be any number of a hundred or so different things.

Check engine light is on. Engine sounds like it's knocking. And oil light is coming on. This 2008 Dodge Dakota has only 63,000 miles.

Sometimes that light means overfill oil
Sometimes after changing oil if they put too much that happens
Check the oil level on cold in level place (give it like an hour or so) for the light to reset
If after that the light still on take it to a tech.

Good luck

Light engine

clean where the fuel mixes with the air and also check your oil, after that more than likely looking at an electrical problem
