    ok, but did you reset the reminder after the oil change? If the reminder light was reset, and came back on. then, the problem lies somewhere else!!!

Look sometimes when you have your oil changed you need to take a diagnostic machine and clear the check engine light if that is done and and the light still appears then it means that you need to have other things looked at more in likely a tune up. you know the spark plugs and wires ect.

2000 grand am gt. Check engine light is off but the Service engine soon light is on. There are no error codes. I have already changed the oil and reset the oil light.

Service engine soon ? Do you mean SERVICE VEHICLE SOON Indicator
The amber SERVICE VEHICLE SOON indicator is an alert to the driver whenever there are specific current codes stored in the BCM or in the event of a loss of Class 2 serial data.

If your vehicle has a check engine light ,it doesn't have service engine soon .One or the other .

How do I get the check engine light to go off after oil change. 07 Honda pilot

An oil change will not set the check engine light. You need to have a scanner hooked up to your vehicle to see why the check engine light is on.

I have a message from the computer stating oil service

Many vehicles have computers that monitor the engine rpm, operating conditions, etc. and based on the type of driving you're doing - recommends when the oil should be changed. I have a vehicle that can go a little over 10,000 mi between "change oil" dashboard notifications while a friend of mine has the same vehicle and gets the same notice every 4,000 - 6,000 miles. We drive under different conditions so oil needs to be changed less often for me - and more often for him.

You should be checking your oil at least every few times you stop to refuel - and topping off as needed (unless you'll be changing the oil very soon in which case I wouldn't add any unless very low). Failure to keep engine oil at proper levels can be catastrophic and result in a very expensive repair - all for the cost of adding a $4 quart of oil every now and then - if needed.

Good luck!

Service engine soon light

The service engine soon could be an indicator that you need to have minor maintenance done in the near future. I had a Grand Am that the service engine light would turn on when I was getting close to needing an oil change. You might check your owners manual for an exact reason as to why it turns on.

My change oil light never goes off even though I had it changed and now my service vehicle soon light is on even though its been running fine

The change oil light needs to be reset after each oil change...some shops are not knowledgeable on how to do this...Your owners manual will instruct you how to reset the oil change light...The service engine soon is a catch all for low fluids and other needs...Be sure to check your oil level again...to clear the service engine soon light, you can disconnect either battery cable for 15 minutes then reconnect...if the service engine stays on...then you need to have your Grand Am checked...Auto Zone does a free diagnostic of check engine light codes...:)
