recently everytime i start my car the oil change light goes on. even right after i just change the oil . one of my frieands told me it was a computer fault and i should take it to chevy and they could reset it. i know this happens to many ls1 motor because i see it often. what should i does anyone know how to solve this problem. its not a big deal but it gets annoying when it pops up everytime.

 

turn ignition to on position...Push gas pedal to floor 3 times (maybe 5)

Bye bye light..it's nothing serious, just a reminder...

 

The oil change light comes on independantly of whenever you changed your oil. Your car cannot accurately detect when the oil need to be changed. It just illuminates based upon time and miles.

It should always be reset when changing the oil. All this information and reset procedures can be found in the owners manual... But to reset it, turn the ignition to the run position (engine off), slowly press the gas pedal to the floor and let off 3 times within 5 seconds. Start the engine, and the system should be reset.

 

ok sounds about right if this doesnt work ill drive my car into lake michigan

 

drive it to me before you do that...but don't fart in it

 

.. Turn the car on to BAT but don't start it. Hold your trip button for 18 seconds and it'll blink, then go away.

 

Bingo....I was waiting for someone to say it before me..yay the owners manual rules!!!

Doesn't matter which method that you use, they both work.

 

yea it worked and it dent even hurt my turbo

 

WTF

 

i think he meant va jay jay

 

Denting turbo FTL

 

or drowning it in Lake MI FTL

 

I do not agree.
Mine seems to know exactly when to come on. At times, it has been as little as 4500 miles and other times as much as 13K.

 

On my Cadillac the computer factors in driving conditions....speed/temperature of the engine and things like that to determine when the oil needs changed. So I would agree with you.
