Change Oil Light On

Hi all:

I have a 2000 venture van and so far it's been good. However, I just gave it a tune up which included an oil change. The change oil light came on and it will stay up for abour 15 to 20 secs, at start up only. I am puzzled as to what is causing this. any ideas? How can I reset it or correct it.

thanks all

Did the "Engine Oil Life" meter get reset after the oil change? (one of the indicators displayed with odometer & trip odometers).

Here is the reset procedure from my 2001 Venture manual.

How to Reset the Change Engine Oil Message
1. With the ignition key in RUN but the engine off,
repeatedly push the trip/reset button until OIL
is displayed.
2. When OIL is displayed, push and hold the trip/reset
button for five seconds. The number will disappear
and be replaced by 100 (indicating 100% oil
life remaining).
3. Turn the key to OFF.
If the change engine oil message comes back on,
the engine oil life monitor has not reset. Repeat
the procedure.

Hope this helps.

Let me know if it works.

Another thing - You MAY be able to get a PDF version of the owner's manual at GM's owner website, but you have to register (that's how I got mine). Check it out:
