Is the engine light solid or is it flashing?

Solid Engine light - nothing really major problem, could be one of your sensors got unplug or broken but that wouldn't hurt really (for safety, i still recommend you to go visit a shop and get it check out)

Flashing Engine light - you got problem. you need to see the doctor very quick

Go to autozone, Get a print out on the code.. Then call your Local Honda dealership for details. I changed my GF's oil in her RSX and the light came on afterwards.

Also on some cars when you change the oil you have to reset the system to let you know it has been changed. Sounds more like tho that a sensor is now misreporting, and that the system thinks there is a fault. Everyone is correct tho you do need to get it to autozone and have them scan it, some of them will even reset the computer, or even be able to tell you what part is bad.
