The check engine light does not give information about fluid levels. What it does indicate is a failure in the car's emission controls. Could be anything from a bad oxygen sensor to a loose spark plug wire. Many auto parts stores, like Auto Zone, have a scan tool and will read the codes for you at no charge. You may or may not be able to take that information and repair the vehicle yourself. From my personal experience, I just replaced the head gasket on my '00 forester. My check engine light kept coming on with a variety of codes all indirectly caused by having coolant in the combustion chamber. It is not likely that yours has such a serious problem but the check engine light is certainly a help in diagnosing problems. --Ken
