I have a 2008 Magnum SE with the 2.7L V6 and almost 45,000 miles on it. I have had absolutely no problems with it whatsoever, until now. Certain personal circumstances have had me driving back and forth from Tallahassee to Sarasota, Florida, 4 times in the last six weeks. Every time I've made the drive, the check engine light has come on for no reason. And every time it's come on, I would stop, check the oil level, check the battery, engine temp, etc. and everything seemed to be copacetic. What's really odd is that usually the next time I start the car, no Check Engine Light blaring it's evil orange glow at me. Now after returning for the fifth time, the check engine light will NOT GO AWAY! I've checked everything, hell I even had the oil changed twice; once after the normal 3000 miles and then again after only 2000 miles to see if that would do the trick, and I have no idea what's going on. The car drives fine, but that stupid check engine light will not go away! Any suggestions? Please help!

The"Check Engine" light does not mean for you to check the engine (oil, coolant, etc...). The light is telling you the computer has detected a fault or a faulty component (most common problem with engines is a faulty oxygen sensor).
Have a Mechanic hook up your car to find out which component requires a repair or replacement.
e.g. Today I did a coolant flush & fill on my 2007 Magnum with a 3.5L engine. I had to remove the radiator fan cluster to access the hoses. When I put the fans back in, I forgot to re-connect the electrical plug, and it tripped my Check Engine light. Having a quick look, I realized my error, and hooked it back up. To reset the light, I disconnected the battery for a few minutes.
The Check Engine light can be a pain sometimes, but it serves an important function.
Also, many 3.5L engines had a problem with their intake plenums, setting off the light. Dodge had to replace the plenums under warranty.
