Hello tiffinkie: My name is Roger an I will help you. First open the passenger door and locate the fuse panel located in the end of the dash cover. Remove the cover turn the key on. Do not start the motor. Push the reset button located at the top of the instrument fuse panel.The CHANGE OIL light will start to flash.Press and hold the RESET button again. The reset is complete when you hear the chimes sound and the CHANGE OIL light goes out. Should you need further help please just ask. Please rate your answer. This way I know it was helpful. Thank You for using Fix Ya. Roger

Just bought a 2000 pontiac Gt with 110000 miles on it two days ago. Ive driven it 137 miles before the service engine soon light came on. What do you think it is

The service engine light is usually a flag for an oil change or other maintenance item. If it is reset, it will come back on in 5000 miles as a reminder to change the oil. Ask your dealer's service department how to reset the indicator and do it when you change your oil. I know for Saturn, the proceedure is Turn the key to the on position without starting the engine and within 5 seconds press the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor 3 times. Not sure if it will be the same for the Pontiac, but you could give it a try.

iI you mean 'how to turn change oil light off" go to fuse panel. Open drivers door there is a panel cover on the side of dash board, remove cover there is a red RESET button that resets oil pressure and tire pressure. Turn the ignition key to the on position but don't start the car.
