KOEO (Key on engine off), press your accelerator pedal to the floor three times (the Change Oil Soon light should flash (IIRC)) turn the key off - it should reset itself.
I have a '99 Lumina. Manny boy is right. In my owners manual it says exactly what he said. Just make sure you press the gas pedal 3 times within 5 seconds. If you do it too slow it won't work. Be patient. You may have to try a couple of times.

Lucas Oil for a change oil soon light.
