Default Help!!
I didn't do a oil change when I bought the car. I drove it over a thousand miles so far. Well the change oil light came on so the next day I changed it. The light is still on. Should I change it again or does it go away after awhile? It's been on for almost a week.

Turn your key to the "ON" ( not start) and press the gas pedal three times , it will magically go away.

press and hold the trip button while the car is either running or in the "ON" position...the oil change light should flash a few times, then go away

It has to be on the "on" not start postion, and you reset it by holding the trip/odometer stub swich thing and it will blink a few times and go away.

Right on the money, I believe it's 15 seconds that you have to hold it too.

I read the owners manual, on both my TA and pickup. I also use it to reference my tow/haul weights and options. It also has a nice little section in the back that troubleshoots minor common problems. It also lets you know the type of fluid in the tranny/rear ect. I always figure its worth a flip through if you dont know your vehical well.

Well , I guess you can do it both ways , I didn't know that. On our '01 , I always did the gas pedal trick and it worked every time. I'll try the odometer trick next time around.

Yea why look at a manual that might actually give you some kind of input on a vehicle you drive, or not try a search. Because you're way to damn lazy and want others to tell you or search for you.

This is for you:


..and since this thread is done, this is also for you

Peace,
Craig. (I always sign off that way, deal with it)
