After going for an oil change with my 97 lesabre . check engine light stays on. They initially overfilled with oil and now the damn light stays on. I tried to disconnect battery and that does not work. drained oil to proper level and light stays on. How do I get the light to shut off.

Get the code reading as Tom suggested...

You can look at the air filter housing and /or air intake duct ,there is an Intake air Temperature sensor there (IAT)
These are always left disconnected by oil change places...they disconnect them when they check/replace the air filter and forget to reconnect them

Just a thought
