Out for a ride when I notice the "change oil" light come on. I'm running the usual mobil 1. It's clean and full so why the light? What would trigger the light to come on?
Thanks

Did you re-set your "change oil" "clock" or program the last time you change the oil. Check your owner's manual it give a good detail on how to reset you change oil light.

Here is the procedure for a '94.
Turning off the change oil light
1) Turn the ignition "ON", but do start the engine.
2) Press the "ENG/MET"button and release, then, within 5 seconds, press it again.
3) Within 5 seconds of step 2, press and hold the "GAUGES" button. While the button is held, the "change oil" indicator will flash.
4) Continue holding the "GAUGES" button until the "change oil" indicator stops flashing and goes out, indicating successful completion of the reset cycle. This should take about 10 seconds. If it does not successfully reset, turn the ignition "OFF" and repeat the procedure from step 1.
