Lately the oil of my 2002 chevy venture turns pinkish. what could be causing this
Is it synthetic blend? I've never heard of regular oil ever turning pink, not even when contaminated with other fluids. Have it looked at by someone. If it's synthetic, maybe it's normal?

SOURCE: how to turn off the change oil light in a 2003
What you need to do is turn the ignition key to the on postion (but do not start the vehicle). Next, push the trip odometer button a few times until the word oil appears on the screen. There will be a number next to the word oil. Hold the button in until the number 100 appears next to the word oil and then your good to go. Let me know if you have any further questions about this. Thanks for rating my response and for using FixYa!

SOURCE: wipers on 97 chevy venture won't go down when turned off.
The wipers appear to Malfunction by leaving the wipers up after turning
the wipers off. I found problem to be that corrosion sets in between the CAMS plates
that circle in an opposing fashion and does not let the wiper arms park
correctly. Be very careful with this mechanism if you have the cowling
off
TURN the KEY and WIPERS OFF and watch your fingers so you don't get them
caught.
WARNING if you leave the power on and try to move the arms This cam
mechanism springs to life and will try to self park the wipers on their
own so Turn the Power and Wipers Off.
SOLUTION:
1. With the ENGINE COLD, Spray a lubricant that FREE'S CORRODED PARTS
like WD-40 between the gap of the 2 CAM Plates and on Top of the plates,
or use some other automotive parts lubricant that free's corroded
parts(let it soak for 5 minutes).
2. Gently Try to manually move the arms back and forth a little bit so
that the spray works into the parts.
3. This may not be necessary but I had to do this the first time.
There is a notch in the top cam that has a STUD that locks the 2 CAMs
together. You can push on this STUD to unlock the cams by manually
moving the wipers(use a screw driver to push on the STUD and have a
friend gently move the wipers manually. Spray the area LIBERALLY with
with the Lubricant Spray and see if you can move the CAMS back and forth
and work the lubricant in.
Then with the wiper cover out of the way and all tools clear Try to
cycle the wipers HIGH and LOW, ON and OFF a few times it may stick the
first couple times with the wipers in the up position but I am confident
that the lubricant will work its way in and free these CAMS the way
they are supposed to.
Your wipers should self park after cycling them after 5-10times. This
should solve most of the problems with these
wipers and should be re-lubricated as needed. Clean up any extra
lubricant Put the wiper cover back on.
Hope this Helps
The CAM for the wipers that is about $85 at your local GM dealer.
It has instructions on how to install it correctly in the box the part
comes from. Good luck! and thenk you for using Fixya

I had that exact code a couple weeks ago. Mine needed new oxygen sensors. They(there are 2, only one was throwing a code, but I had both replaced) cost a little over $100 to have replaced.
