Default check engine light

i just bought a new 06 350z enthusiast just last week.. i have 880 miles on it already and my SERVICE ENGINE SOON light is on already... people kept telling me its because i didnt screw the gas cap tightly enough. but i did close it pretty tight and the light is still on. any of you guys have had the same problem? im thinking it could be an O2 sensor.

The gas cap clicks when it is closed properly.

Take it to the dealer. Let them figure is out. Only if you have a good dealership nearby though.

i would check the gas cap, its happened to me like 4 times...

turn the gas cap until it clicks like 4 or 5 times and then you have to drive like 3-5 miles and it will be gone..
