This light just turned on on the way home today... Maybe because my oil needed to be changed? I changed it about 400 miles ago though. How do I get the light to go away, and could the light come on for any other reason besides needing an oil change, like low oil, or dirty *** oil, etc...?

Turn your ignition to the ON position but don't start the car.

Hold down the trip odometer for a while. I think it like 5-10 seconds. You will see the oil light go off on the dash.

You can then start the car.

From what my manual said the PCM calculates the RPM's and the mileage and other factors and determines the need for an oil change based on that. Do what TTWS6 said and that will take care of the light.

the oil change light might also come on , if you over fill the oil, i.e 6.0 qts. It has happen to me twice, but maybe no relation other than I had only 250 miles on the oil.

Mine came on for no good reason recently, I tried the tripometer - but it didn't work. I turned the car on, but didn't start it. Then I remembered how the GM trucks are... pumped the gas pedal 3 times - light went out. HTH

FYI - the tripometer deal works on a coworkers Pontiac Formula... so maybe it's a Pontiac thing?

Read a little closer. He's talking about the change oil light, not the low oil light. Nice sig pic there.
