My change oil light to come on after start up. I change my oil at normal intervals and recently switched from M1 to RP, same weight 5w30. It never did this in the past, could it be the oil or just a bad light/sensor? Any thoughts?

 

did you reset the oil life moniter?

 

I have never heard of this? How can i do it?

 

I think that there is 2 ways of doing it. Turn the key to "on" and hold down the trip reset button and it will reset the oil change. I have also heard that you can turn the key to "on" and send the accelerator to the floor 3 times quickly, and it will do it. I think that last one is bogus though.

 

I always use the pedal method. Works good. If you use the trip reset then it also resets the trip meter. I always use the trip meter to keep track of gas mileage and how much I drive a week and I don't want it to reset.

 

pedal method is the way i do it!

 

well,well,well.i learn something new everyday.i've never even heard of the pedal method.i guess i'll try it .

 

Ya that pedal method just worked fine for me. That light has been annoying me for the last 2 tanks. That was so simple it made me laugh.

My friend told me to do something like turn the key on and off 5 times then hit the reset 5 time then turn the car on.....didnt work

 

I will reset it for $5

 

But i'll do it for $4.99

 

I'll warrenty my labor for 2500 miles

 

pedal ftw, used to be in service dept. of gm dealership.

 

Learn something new everyday! thanks guys!

 

 

Yeah, pedal is the way to go. The trip reset pisses me off. However it works.
