Default How to get rid of the oil change light

My 91 has the oil change light on, what is the process of removing it? Thanks much.

I forgot how to do it long ago

Step 1 - get a Factory Service Manual (FSM)


Here is the peocedure (for the 92, I think yours is the same):
1. Ignition ON, but do not start the engine

2. Press the ENG MET button on the trip monitor and release. Then within 5 seconds press and release the ENG MET button again.

3. Within 5 seconds of step 2, press and hold the GAUGES button on the trip monitor. The CHANGE OIL light will flash.

4. Hold the GAUGES button until the CHANGE OIL light stops flashing and goes out.

If it doesn't work the first time turn the ignition off and try the whole thing over again.

Read your owner's manual. The procedure's in there, too.

Default For a 91

For the 91 it is the RANGE button ... not everyone has an owners manual.

Then it would probably be a very good idea to buy one.
They are available. Lots of good stuff in an owners manual.

Why?

Just use the 'low tech' way of getting the light to go out....
