My wont my oil change light go off? I went about 3500 between the last oil change and it came on on the way home from the parts store to change it and now it wont go off. How do you get it to go off?

Did you reset it after the last oil change? Turn key to RUN, don't start car. Press and hold the trip/oil reset button on the dash for a few seconds until it goes off.

yep, hold it down for 12 seconds.

Turn Key forward Once.. Then Push the Trip/odometer Button in & hold for couple of Seconds.. Should Go out.. This Lite will come on every 3kMiles

Mine has only come on once since new, only 25K and a few battery and frequent tuning changes - don't know if that affects the GM Oil Life System or not - so I don't trust it. Manual says it can come on anywhere from 3-10K.

Mine didnt come on every 3K in my Camaro. It would come on sometimes around 3K, sometimes around 4K.

you can also turn the key into the "on" position and pump the gas 3 times. that will turn it off.

All the ways to turn it off are correct, but the amount of mileage that it comes on will vary due to it going by how the car is driven, idle time, etc, to help determine when to set the light.

Exactly, driving style is what determines when the light will come on. There is no oil analyzing whatsoever it is merely a program that takes sensor readings into account.

Read the owners manual folks.

I belive It says something about the number of revolutions of the crank shaft. *runs to car to get manual*

Anyone know for sure if resetting the PCM or retuning the PCM automatically resets the GM Oil Life System? Thinking it does????

Don't know for sure, but I would think that resetting it does...what about having the battery unplugged/dead for an extended period of time?

Obviously having a dead battery doesn't delete your tune, so some things are protected, not sure if oil indicator light or PCM codes fall into this category?

Good questions though.
