2003 Saab 9-5 CHECK ENGINE light with vibration

We have a 2003 Saab 9-5. 
Was running fine until this morning, on highway the ''check engine'' light appeared and alot of vibration in the car. 
We had the oil changed three days ago, and this morning filled the tank with regular 87 unleaded gas.
Message came up on clock that reads ''Time for service''

Could be low grade oil or fuel issues?

My 2002 saab 9-5 shakes and sputters for about

Water on any electrical part of the engine can cause problems. Even high humidity. The only parts you can easily check and dry out is the plug wires where they connect to the coils and any connections you can find where components are plugged into wiring a harness.

My 2003 Saab 9-3 drives sluggish.

Take your car to the dealer, local garage, auto parts store and get them to pull the code which should tell you exactly what the problem is. I would also check the transmission again and make sure it isn't leaking and is at the correct level. If the problem was low transmission fluid you still need to have the code "cleared" before the car will return to normal. Hope this helps.
