How do I reset the change oil soon message in my 1998 Chevy Lumina after changing the oil?

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.

how to reset oil life on 2004 chevy silverado

GM OIL LIFE SYSTEM - RESETTING
Reset the oil life monitor when the oil has been changed, use the following procedure.

2. Fully push and release the accelerator pedal 3 times within 5 seconds.
3. If the Change Oil Soon light flashes, the system is resetting.
4. Start the vehicle.
5. The oil life will change to 100%.
6. If the Change Oil Soon light comes back on, the system has not reset. Repeat the procedure.

The fact that the oil was low would not be from the oil pump, but from wear in the engine. If it is not smoking when you start it or as you drive, you can probably keep it running by just keeping the oil level checked at each fuel fill-up. As for the car shutting off, you didn't say if the engine seized or got real hot. A low oil pressure problem should have triggered a warning light before the problem got to the point where you lost the engine.

If the car ran after you added the oil, you got lucky and need to always check it.

To reset the tire pressure message, first make sure all pressures are appropriate, then turn the ignition on with the engine off. Press and hold the GAGES button located on the left side of the steering column until TIRE PRESSURE appears in the display. Press and hold the RESET button for 5 seconds until TIRE PRESSURE RESET appears then release the RESET button.

To reset change oil soon message, press GAGES button until OIL LIFE displays. Press and hold RESET for 5 seconds.

If the engine light is on, then I would have an OBD-II Scanner get the codes out of the computer to see what may be causing this error.

The change oil soon light should be reset after changing the oil.

Check the water pump,and all the hoses ,it is most likely antifreeze,

I doubt the two problems are connected. I would try a new gas cap and see what happens since it runs fine. The service engine soon light won't reset on it's own right away.

5w-30
about 5 quarts for an oil and filter change

Have transmission service, oil and filtr. .Anywhere but aamco. sounds like valve body os sticking. do it soon.

Turn the ignition to the "ON" position. with the engine NOT running. With the ignition in the "ON" position press the gas pedal down to the floor 3 times within 5 seconds. The light should flash twice. If it doesn't you need to try resetting it again.
