CEL Blinked 3 times

I was on my way home today and my CEL blinked 3 times and went off. The car was fully warmed up and I wasnt at WOT. I was just cruising down the highway at about 75. The car didnt act funny or begin to stall in any way. The only mods i have on the car are k&n intake, dc headers, and ACT clutch and flywheel. Any ideas? Thanks

It missfired. Take it to a shop to have the codes pulled and diagnosed.

the check engine light and the light for the oil change would never be the same, the MIL is the malfunction indicator lamp another name for the CEL. If it was a blinking check engine light dont drive it and get it diagnosed immediately, you dont want to do any damage to your car.
