Check engine light won't turn off

Kia Rio 2006 Manual hatchback  134843 miles
My check engine light turned on so I pulled over and checked everything, oil, coolant etc. My oil was low but not empty so I filled it up and couldn't find anything else that was running low. So I assumed it was the oil causing the light to turn on. Since filling the oil up the light hasn't turned back off, after driving for another 40 mins I pulled over again and restrained checked. Any suggestions on what else to check? Or is there a reset for the engine check light?
