Hi, i have a 2009 6mt and about a month ago right before doing an oil change the "service engine soon" light came on, no other lights came on with it no oil warning light or anything, but after doing an oil change that night the light went away, I'm just trying to determine what all can cause this light to come on because i thought if the oil was too low then it would be an oil pressure warning light not the service engine soon light, however the car does have a bad habit of burning oil between changes and I just want to find out if I need to get it into a dealer before the warranty is up or if this light has nothing to do with oil level/pressure/cleanliness

any help is much appreciated
