99 Lumina V6, How do I reset the "Change Oil Soon Light" ? I don't have a manual since I bought this car used and I can't seem to any reset buttons. Thanks for your help in advance!

I think on my '97, turn the key on (don't start it) and hold the gas pedal to the floor 'till the light flashes, then it's set.

Supposedly you need to pump the gas three times in five seconds - all the way to the floor and all the way back up - then the light flashes, then you're good. 97 might be different or Jeff may have a leadfoot... ;P

I went out and tried it, since the light is on now. I always forget how I did it each time I have to do it. Holding it to the floor while turning the key to the on position cleared it. I do remember the older ones you had to pump it.
