Default Reset Oil Light???

Does anyone know how to reset the oil change light when you don't have the dealership do your oil change? I refuse to go to the dealership everytime and spend $69.99 for them to change my oil when I can go locally and still get mobil 1 for $29.99.

Hold the trip reset button for about 10 15 seconds, then the oil light will come on.

The instructions are in your owners manual.

I tried holding the reset but it didn't work, the light didn't go off. I do not have the owners manual. Can someone please help. Thanks.

How do I reset my change oil light (99-01 cars only)?

Answer: Turn your ignition key on (don't start the engine) and then push and hold in the trip odometer button till the oil change light flashes (about 15 seconds).

On my '02, I put the ignition to the on position (don't start it), and pump the accelerator to the floor 3 times...
