Check engine light 2002 996 after oil change

[shubchs]

Anyone have any ideas on this problem.: I had an oil and filter change, (0-49 mobil one,, and porsche filter and washer), immediately after the change the engine light came on. I am returning tomorrow to the service station, and would appreciate some ideas to discuss with the mechanic. No refueling was done, and nothing else (I was standing by) was touched...

Maybe just a coincidence of course and something else is going on. the car ran fine on the way home, ambient temp (in Oct) was about 60 degrees. I detached both oil filler and gas cap, and re fixed them.

Thanks in advance for some ideas.

Best thing to do is read the fault code(s) and report back here.

OK will do. i have a fellow coming to the house on Friday to read out and clear the code. was just wondering what could have happened during the oil and filter change, or if it is just a coincidence.

Maybe the cap is not properly installed or the filler neck tube cracked, both are pretty common. Better to read the codes first as suggested by Loren.
