I just purchased this car in the fall with only 22900 miles on it. As soon as I got it I had it inspected. All was good. I changed my own oil filter air filter fan belt ect, just last week the "service engine soon" yellow light came on. I took it and changed the oil and filter my self as I always do. The light stayes on. How do I go about turning it off? Ben

This yellow service engine soon, has nothing to do with oil changes, it means the computer or PCM, has detected trouble in a circuit, or sensor values that are incorrect. Go to Autozone and have thes codes read, they will do it for free, then post the codes here, and we can help!
