As for the light, take it to an autozone and have them read the codes.

The red color appears every 7.5 K miles to remind you to change the engine oil. When the task is done, push your key into the slot on the instrument panel to reset the color to green.

Go to the link in my signature so you can try to retrieve the CEL code by the jumper wire method.
