I can assure you the check engine light did not happen because of a different weight of oil.
something else is the matter.

it's sunday so i doubt you can go back to the mechanic.

what you can do is go to an autoparts store and ask to get the check engine light read.
once you know the code, you will know what is wrong with the car, as the check engine light is a key or clue to help you figure things out.

make sure you make note of this code and report back here

Agree with crabman, The oil had nothing to do with the Check Engine light... Get those codes read ASAP.
