Can I drive with my car with the service engine light on

What is your question?

I recently got my CC changed in October . The check engine came on yesterday morning and I went to AutoZone and they said it could be the CC needs fluid and another thing with exhaust manifold gasket . I can’t get any services until Friday when I’m paid . Am I still able to use my car until then ?

What is a "CC"? Catalytic Converter perhaps? That wouldn't make sense, though, because I do not know what "fluid" it could need. The hardest part about a check engine light is that it could mean so many different things. Certain things are damaging to other components. If you have a misfire, for example, with one or more of the cylinders of the engine, unburned fuel can damage the catalytic converter and other engine components. The engine itself could experience internal damage if you allow this to go on for too long. Who knows how long is too long? It is just best to get it handled as soon as possible. Other problems such as evaporative emissions concerns what's up the check engine light but will not cause immediate damage to any engine or vehicle components related to safe operation. As I can't tell you what codes are present, I can't really give you any great advice, and even any advice I could give you is subject to real world error. That said I suggest driving it sparingly for absolute needed purposes only and then getting it checked as soon as possible. https://repairpal.com/auto-repair-near-me
