Oil light

[Kraut187]

Anyone know how to reset the annoying "Change Oil" light, it keeps coming on, but then goes off after about a minute. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Plus what kind of oil should I use?

when you change your oil all you have to do is press the tripometer for 12 seconds and it will reset the oil sensor thing-e. it comes on when it senses dirty oil or it will come on and stay on after 5000 miles without reseting it.
and to me oil is oil. but i bet other people will have a preference and maybe tell you why.

I use Mobil1 Fully Synthetic , check my sig.

ok i will tell you what i think since nobody else is helping here.
i use exxon regular oil. why just regular? cause i make sure to change it when it is supposed to be changed. exxon is reputable and it works, why spend all that money and then spend more your next oil change? i guess i am just saving a few bucks cause i really dont believe synthetic is going to keep my engine running loner than what i would kill it in normally.

I prefer the Valvoline 10W-30 Maxlife. Its 50% PAO, $1.88/qt, has a very strong additive base, seems to last the entire interval without diminishing by a drop, and I get better fuel economy with it.

This is opposing Mobil 1.
