Two days after having my oil changed the 'Service Engine light' came on
on my 2001 Pontiac Grand Am. Does this light come on when you need an oil
change? Should it have been reset when the oil change was done?

A 'Service Engine Light' should have nothing to do with an oil change. If
the "Service Engine" light is on, you should get it scanned for codes. You
may have a 'change oil' light. My sister has an '04 Grand Am, and I'm pretty
sure it has one, but the 'Service' light is totally different. Is the car
acting abnormal?

My Grand Am has a red "change oil" light that comes on and is reset by a
button on the drivers dash side of the vehicle.
There is an amber "service vehicle soon" that will come on if a light bulb
or non engine error develops.
Another amber light "service engine soon" sets code for your motor..(EGR,O2
sensors,ect.....)

If you don't have an ODB2 diag code reader, then take your car to an auto
parts store and they will read your diagnostics code for free and sell you
the part you need. I know that Auto Zone and Advance Auto Parts have done
this for me in the past.

Take care,
-Chris
