Are you serious? You claim to have 600 hp and you are asking this vague of a question? The check engine light could mean hundreds of things. Go to Autozone and get them to scan it for free.

I don't think they have Autozones in Kuwait. And he seemed vague because English might not exactly be his first language. Try and pay attention Either way, what kind of engine did you swap in? You might have forgotten to check all of the connectors. I'm sure whoever tuned your car has a scanner so I would see what codes are being set off. It's a start.

Low oil level might be because the new motor doesn't have the sensor in the pan or not plugged in? I'd check the module connection under the console for the air bag light, make sure it's plugged in tight...be careful. Get it scanned to see what the SES is on for, not to be confused with the service vehicle light, which can illuminate with the air bag light.

Makes no difference how well he speaks Earth's language (English) or what engine he swapped in, he needs to find a place to scan his car. You aren't going to sit here and guess what the problem is are you? Of course not.
