oil change light???
For about a month now my oil change light comes on when I start my car but goes off after about 3 min. I just got an oil change and the oil isn't low at all, anyone know what this could be????

It needs to be reset. It comes on every 4 or 5 thousand miles (correct me if I'm wrong)
There are a couple of ways to do it.
If I remember correctly, go turn your car to the on position with the engine off, and pump your gas pedal 4 or 5 times. That should reset it.
There is another way that involves the trip reset, but evertime I tried that one it cleared the trip meter as well, and I like to keep an eye on my mpg.

My life is a- Ben Stiller movie.
turn key to ACC
push and hold your Trip-Set button until the oil flashes on the dash.

Mine comes on everytime I start the car. Goes off after a few minutes.
It doesnt even bother me, I know when I changed my oil, I know when it needs to be changed. The light means nothing to me.370 CI - Twin 6766 Turbo - Jakes stage 5 4L80E - MWC 9" - Holley Dominator

The best way to know how to reset the light is look in the owners manual. My car didnt have one when I got it but I surfed enough firebird websights to find one to download for free.
