Chevy has three ways of turning off the oil light. The first is rather easy. If you open the glove box and look in to see if there is a button for your reset. If that is not there then when you open the driver door look to the panel and see if there is a door there. If there is pop the panel off and look for a red reset button. You have to push it like 6 or 7 times to clear the light. If all that fails then get into the car turn the ignition to the on position. pump the gas pedal 3 times and then hold it down. The light should flash and stay on. Turn the car back on, the light shoul be off. Good luck.
