Change oil light on start up Hey guys, i did a search and didn't find any topics on this. I have a 2000 TA ws6 and when i fire it up the "change oil" light comes on, it stays on for about a minute than will go out. The oil level is fine.. i was wondering if anyone else had this happen and more importantly WHY it is happening. thanks!!

It's time to change your oil. After a while it will stay on.
It happens to me about every 5000 miles.
It varies based on your driving habits/conditions.
Once you change you oil you can clear it by turning the key to the on position and holding the trip meter reset button for 5-10 seconds. The oil light will blink.

Synthetic...brand isn't going to matter that much, I would consider Royal Purple the only "superior" synthetic oil. GM used Pennzoil when they come off the line, I just continued to use that.

You can also turn the key on and stab the gas pedal 3 times. I just did it to mine yesterday.
As for oil, I used to run Royal Purple but switched to Edelbrock Full Synthetic with Zinc.
