Engine & Accessory Qs

'99 3100 series

More stuff I guess. Security light comes on after awhile while I'm driving, and remains on for awhile. Then it goes off. I read in the manual that this means PassKey II has malfunctioned and needs to be replaced/repaired. Is that system something even worth fixing?

Secondly, I just changed my oil about 300 miles ago. (5W-30 Valvoline conventional) I added some Valve-Medic to the crank shortly thereafter, and now today, the CHG OIL SOON light illuminates and remains on for about a minute after I start the car. Is the sensor just very sensitive and is picking up a different viscosity, or should I change the oil again just to be safe? I know the $30 would have been wasted for the last change, but that's better than having something fucked up later on.

Also, the factory CD player has died. It was the "AM-FM Stereo / CD with Automatic Tone Control", and I'm just wondering now, theoretically, if I were to take it to a GM dealer, how much would it cost to have them replace the unit with a new, identical one?

If that's impossible, which aftermarket CD player would you suggest that has good dimensions to fit as seamlessly as possible in the Lumina? Mine has bench seats, there is no "console". Most aftermarket CD players I've seen in '95-'01 Luminas and Montes looked like crap, so I'm wondering if any of you have found one that fits and blends in nicely.

Thanks
