Girlfriend's Saturn has an oil light.

How do you re-set these things?

 

disconnect battery for a few seconds and hook it back up?? Or just add oil..

 

No.

It's a reminder light, not a low oil light.

I know someone here knows the secret.

 

Get the oil changed, its an oil viscousity light to let you know the oil has broken down the time its been in the car

 

Nope.

I think I found the answer...

"Turn ignition switch to on. Locate the fuse box under the hood on driver’s side. Remove cover and depress OIL-R button. Light should flash indicating reset. Instructions are located on fuse box cover."

 

How old is the oil in the car?

 

Old enough to be changed, why does it matter?

 

thats the purpose of the light, my mom has a Saturn and the dealer basically told her to never let the light come on, its more of a "Change Oil Now" Light than a reminder, change the oil

 

what year?

GM's resets are varied per year, but most either have a little red reset button in the fuse panel, or you follow the procedure outlined in the owners manual...

RTFM!!


btw, if you dont have the manual, post what year and i can look it up. it is one of two ways:

reset button

or

cycle key on, engine off, depress accel. pedal three times to WOT within five seconds. wait till light flashes and stops flashing. turn key off. start engine.

 

heh....guess ya read the manual...


it means CHANGE THE DAMN OIL!1!
