This light came on about a month and a half ago, so I changed the oil...the light still comes on when I crank my car and then goes off after driving a while, just as it would when you actually needed to change your oil.


What is causing this? Should I be worried?

 

Turn the key forward but do not start the car and hold down your trip reset untill the light shuts off. Since your new here I would advise you to use the search feature. It has alot of information.

Example :

Your answer is right there

search hasnt worked in months. youre better off just going through the threads manually.

 

to get the chang oil light off.....


turn the key to start, but do not start the car. push the gas pedal to the floor, do that 3 times. Then turn the car off. That is how it goes away

 

The light probably wasn't resent during the oil change.

Here is an alternate method to reset it:
Turn the key to the on position (don't start car)
Push and hold trip/reset button until oil light flashes or goes out (5-10sec typically)
