Hoping there is a mechanic out there who can advise on this one. My car has 55,000 miles, and i have owned it since new, and religeously changed the oil and filter every 3k miles since new, and just changed it
300 miles ago.Yesterday, I was driving along at about 70, cruising in 5th gear, at low RPMs, and the "service engine soon" light came on.
I pulled over, to check the fluids, and that it was not over heating. It wasn't, and everything appears to be fine. tip top in fact.
I had about 50 miles to go on my trip, and made it without incident or problems.
Went out this morning and checked the fluids again, cold, and everything seems perfect.
Any clues as to what has caused this warning light to come on?
It looks ok to me... But I don't want to have the engine blow, nor do I want to unnecessarily get ripped off at a service station if there is nothing really wrong.
Could it be an electrical problem, with the light itself?
Thanks for some honest information!
