    Every time i start my car the Change oil light comes on, for appox. 2-3 mins I have checked the oil and its fine, and just had it changed 1000 miles ago. Anyone have any ideas what could be making this lite come on?

    Dirty oil?
    Did you completely drain all the old oil out?

    Personally, I'd just reset the light, and call it a day. I dont pay attention to that light....the only light that I look at is the SES.

    All others can have the fuses pulled.

      Reset the light. If the light returns in a sort time it suggests that you have some sort of a problem. Then, scan for codes.

          Hold the odometer reset button down as you turn the ignition to the ON position (you don't have to start the car if I recall correctly). Hold the button down 'til the light flashes & goes out. You will find the instructions on how to do this in your owner's manual, as well.

            Hell, I'd change it again just to be safe. It's not expensive or anything.
