Oil Light Wont Turn Off!?!?!?!?!?

[dphillips1984]

I did my first oil change the other day because my change oil light came on. Its not my first time to chance oil. I know I didnt it right. I was just wondering if there was something else I needed to do to get my change oil light to not come on. ALso my low oil light stays on, but my oil isnt low. I have no idea what to do. Any help would be nice.

How much oil did you put in??


The light on the dash cannot tell that you physically changed the oil.
To get the light to go off, turn your key to the on position but don't start it. Push the tripometer button and hold it down for 7-10 seconds. Oil light should flash.
Turn key off, start car. Light should be off.

I change my oil 3-4 times before that light comes on.

I just baught the car..i put about 2500 miles on it and changed the oil(the light came on and it scared me). and I put 6 quarts of Castrol Syntec 5W 30.

If your low oil light is on...and won't go away, you may need a new sensor in the oilpan.

Dipstick says the level is good? Yellow stick.

that sensor is based on how many revolutions the crank makes between the last time someone reset the system. If the last person didn't reset it then it would have come on earlier. hell, i've had it come on just after a change.

What i'm getting at is it's hardly a "quality monitor" so nothign to be afraid of.

lmao...Touché!!!

LMFAO. Just ignore it if you change your oil regularly. It should go out in a few miles. If not, there is a reset switch underneath. Somebody help me out. Not sure where it is............lol.

Mine comes on and goes off when it wants to. Whatever.

Low oil light sensor is in the side of the pan, after filling it to the correct (sensing) level it should go off after a couple ignition cycles the PCM sees 194* ECT.

It doesn't just go away.
It needs to be reset.
See my post above.

I reset my oil light by pumping the gas pedal three times (to the floor) before starting the car. It turns off for another 3k'ish.

This coming from a guy that put his tires on backwards, when there is an arrow on the side that tells you what way they go

Yeah, that's how I do it to- you have to turn the key to the 'run' position, but not start the car- then pump the gas pedal to the floor 3 or 4 times- the light will blink, then go off-

This is the way I have to reset my change oil light on my 02 T/A also but on my 01 2500 ext cab P/U I have to turn the key on & pump the gas

I reset mine according to Luos instruction and that helped mine. Never did know how to reset it.

Thanks,
