Oil light
On my 2002 you hold in the odometer rest for 12 seconds. I forget if the oil change or service engine light flashes. But it will flash a few times and then the oil change will be reset.

Turn the key to run, don't start the car - Press and hold the trip/oil reset button until it flashes and goes off...if you don't want to reset the trip miles turn the key to run, depress the gas pedal 3 or 4 times.
