SOURCE: ''92 BUICK PARK AVENUE 3.8 HOW TO RESET CHANGE OIL

The reset button is located under the passenger side of the instrument panel.

With the ignition in the ON position, but the engine not started, use a pencil to push the reset button, holding it for five seconds.

After this, the "Change Oil Soon" lamp will flash four times. This indicates that the Oil Life Monitor System has acknowledged the oil change.

SOURCE: What does trouble code P0171 for a 2002 Buick Park

Trouble Code: P0171 (3.8L V6 VIN 1 Auto)
Fuel Trim System Lean (Bank 1) Print this code dataprint_icon_codes.gif Number of Trips to Set Code: 2
OBD II Monitor Type: CCM Details
Indicators: MIL Details

Trouble Code Conditions:
DTC P0101-P0103, P0107, P0108, P0121-P0123, P0130-P0138, P0140, P0141, P0201-P0206, P0300, P0401-P0405, P0410, P0440-P0446, P0506, P0507, P1404 or P1441 not set, engine started, vehicle driven at less than 82 mph at 550-4000 rpm, BARO sensor over 70 kPa (10.1 psi), ECT sensor from 68-230ºF, IAT sensor from 64-158ºF, MAF sensor from 2.8-150 gm/s, MAP sensor from 16-105 kPa (2.6-15.2 psi), fuel level over 10%, and the PCM detected the Long Term fuel trim value was more than +20% for 6 seconds. The PCM controls the air/fuel metering system to good overall fuel economy, driveability, and emission control. During open loop, the PCM determines fuel delivery based on sensor signals, without the oxygen sensor input. During closed loop, the PCM adds oxygen sensor inputs to calculate Short and Long term fuel trim fuel delivery adjustments. Short Term fuel trim values change rapidly in response to changes in the oxygen sensor signals. Long Term fuel trim makes coarse adjustments in order to maintain an air/fuel ratio of 14.7:1.

Possible Causes:
  • Air leaks in intake manifold, exhaust pipes or exhaust manifold
  • Fuel control sensor is out of calibration (ECT, IAT or MAF)
  • Low fuel pressure (fuel filter clogged, pressure regulator failure)
  • One or more injectors restricted or pressure regulator has failed
  • HO2S element is contaminated, deteriorated or has failed
  • Vacuum hose is disconnected, broken, leaking or loose

Engine 3800 for 98 Park ave. shows oil pressure too high on the gauge. what could cause this

Sounds like your oil pressure sending unit is faulty! When you turn the key on, is the gauge reading low, then you start it and it pegs out? if so, the sending unit has failed.

1998 Buick Park Ave., Check engine light is on, the computer displays Oil Change

The check engine light and the oil change indicator message are more than likely not related. You can toggle through the functions and get the oil life % to display then push the reset and hold it for a few seconds and it will reset the oil life indicator message. It should read oil life 100% after reset. (I would change the oil and filter if you have not already done so.)

The check engine light means you are setting an engine code, if it stays on, it is a hard code, if it is intermittant it is a soft code. Have it checked with a scan tool -- plug into your a.l.d.l. connector below the dash on the drivers side and read the code. Autozone and other places will do this for free.
