Can dirty oil cause a check engine light

When i'm at 2500 -2800 miles since my last oil change my engine light turns on and sometimes goes away after 50-100 miles.

like injuneer said get it scanned, but test your egr valve. with the engine running push in the diaphram on the egr valve. It should choke and start to sputter, if not replace the valve. But get it scanned anyway to make sure.
