Re: 98 Lumina Change oil soon light
I would read the owner's manual for valuable info to start with, when changing the oil, the oil life monitor is reset by turning the ign on, do not start the engine, step on the gas pedal 3x to the floor in 5 seconds.

Re: 98 Lumina Change oil soon light
This is very helpful to me as well! Thank you for that tip, as my "COS" light has been driving me nuts too!

Re: 98 Lumina Change oil soon light
I was curious about the interval when it comes back on, i thought it was 7000 miles (so, not so much as a reminder to change the oil, but a warning to change the oil)
however, alldata says the pcm determines when the light comes on by mileage AND driving habits.
