In some specs of cars, the type of petrol listed may be unleaded fuel, if you use leaded fuel, this will be detected by the engine activating the check engine sign. Tio eradicate this problem, you may need to drain your whole petrol tank and replace with unleade fuel only.
Why your car engine and oil light come on and then it start smoking?
Sounds like you may have a serious internal engine problem i.e. bad valve or blown piston. Do a compression check to try to determine which cylinder(s) are involved and whether problem is with a valve, piston, or head gasket.

How do you tell if piston rings are bad?
The engine will be losing compression, and possibly burning oil. Check each cylinder to determine the compression. The loss could also be caused by a valve problem.

How do you check the engine pistons of a 1998 Saturn SL1?
The only way to "check" a piston would be to remove it and visually inspect for damage and wear.Make certain that the piston is not cracked or otherwise damaged.check the ring grooves. Use a piston ring and a set of feeler gauges to determine the amount of wear. Excessive ring groove wear can result in piston failure and if the piston shatters, it can cause the engine to fail completely.Next, use a micrometer to determine the difference in the diameter of the piston between the top and bottom. The piston will wear and if the difference between the top and bottom is too great, the engine will exhibit "piston slap".Check the fit of the wrist pin, it should be tight.HOWEVERYou can run a compression test and get a good idea whether the piston is functioning somewhat correctly.
