1998 Old Aurora Overheating

Check your engine oil using the oil dipstick located on the engine - you need to add oil to the fill line as shown on the dipstick. You should have the oil replaced regularly (every 3-6 months) and keep your eye on the level if the engine is leaking oil underneath or burning a lot of it.

After changing the oil and filter, reset the monitor by proceeding as follows:

Turn ignition On, but do not start engine.

Fully depress and release accelerator pedal three times within five seconds.

If CHANGE ENGINE OIL lamp flashes for five seconds, this indicates system has reset.

Start engine. OIL LIFE should change to 100%.

If CHANGE OIL SOON lamp lights again, repeat reset procedure.

I use the second method, it is more universal and it works for Chevy Venture too.

On some of these cars to reset change oil light, turn key on, press gas peddle three time with in 5 sec. light will flash when reset is done, turn key off and start car, in others at the fuse box will have a reset button that reads on it (reset) just push that button.

sounds like an open ground in the dash.run a wire from the dash metal framework to the negative battery terminal and see if it helps.
