2002 Mercury Sable 47616 miles

Hello,
I was driving my car yesterday and the engine light came on and hasn't gone off since...... should I be really concerned? I know I'm due for an oil change just haven't had a chance could this be why it's coming on?

If the check engine light has come on, the computer has identified a problem. It could be one of many. What you need to do is take the car to a nationally recognized parts store and have them scan the computer to identify the codes. Most will do it for free and then you'll know why the light is on.

Let me know what you find so I can further help.
