The world would be a better place if nobody ever went to a quick lube place or chain store "repair" shop. Either do it yourself or find a real shop to care for everything the vehicle needs, lube included.
They probably damaged something. If what is really on is the maint. required light then it can be reset follow the owner's manual procedure. If the check engine light is on then someone needs to hook up a code reader to the OBDII port and find out what the car thinks is wrong.
Maybe monkey broke an oxygen sensor wire or another wire or hose????

My fiance has a 2003 Acura TL. The car needed an oil change recently so I took it to the 'Quick Lube' place that I've been taking my Nissan Maxima to for the last 5 years. After they did the service the next day I noticed the "Check Engine Light" came on. When I mentioned this to her she said that the Engine Light is programmed to automatically come on whenever the car requires an oil change.
Do we have to take the car to the dealer to get this turned off? Is there something special that is suppose to be done to 'reset' the engine light when you get a oil change? Should we just ignore it?
The car has less than 35,000 miles and is running excellent so I can't imagine that the engine light would be on for any other reason. Thoughts?
