How do I reset the "change Oil" light on my 2000 SS?

Thanks,
Ted

Turn your ignition key to the "run" position - with out starting your engine.
Then, press the trip odometer button down for about 12 seconds.
When the "oil change" light starts blinking the system is reset.
The reset will be complete when the oil change light goes out.

There is another way also turn the key on without starting and press the gas pedal to the floor 3 times will reset it

Remember, though, to do this procedure (i.e., step on the accelerator pedal all the way down 3 times) within 5 seconds -- that's before the preliminary diagnostic lights prove out. Then switch to "Off" position as if to save the change.

If done successfully, the next time you start your engine, the "oil change" light will not be lit anymore.
