Okay. So, I have a question, my service engine soon light comes when I turn the ignition but after the car is running it goes out. Now there is a change oil soon light that comes on and off and I feel like that’s the problem and at the same time it could be something else.

It is normal for the check engine light to come on and then go out after the engine is running. If the check engine light comes on after you have been driving, then you have a trouble code present, and this guide can help you figure out which code it is:

The change oil soon light is telling you the engine oil needs to be changed or it was not reset at the last oil change you had, here is how to reset the oil change light. Check out the images (below). Let us know if you need anything else.
