"service engine soon" ????

Got in the car this morning and the service engine soon light is on. WTF is up with that? Had the oil changed at 3750 miles; it now has 4600. Everything seems fine. Anyone every experience this???

yeah i just had this problem about 2 weeks ago.. turns out it was really nothing.. just check that your gas cap is secure. when i took it in to Nissan they said it was a small Evap leak.. and it passed all the test .. so logically it was the gas cap like i assumed.. just push down hard on the cap and make sure it clicks a few times
