Angry Oil Light Help???

Anyone know how to reset the oil light? My light has stayed on through my last four oil changes. Help would be greatly appreciated...I know my oil is fine but it's annoying...

Are you talking about the "Maintenance Required" light?

If so, resetting it is very easy.

See the post by "death" this thread:

If you red indicator light for oil is on- there is a sensor that measures pressure in the oil system, if its low- the light comes on
