About Skip Bollinger
Expertise
Heretofore, I will NOT answer any mechanical question. I am not qualified and can only offer speculations. You are better served by others that are true Techs. With that being said, please only ask about parts and locating obsolete Auto Parts. Thank you. I have the ability to locate quite a few mechanical parts for American made vehicles fron the 1900`s to present. Some are OEM and some are aftermarket. This would include engine, brake and chassis parts. Body parts and trim are VERY difficult to find but you may inquire. If you need assistance in repair, I have illustrated books for major American manufacturers that show some illustrations BEFORE 1974. If needed, I can supply repair manuals for your specific vehicle. PLEASE REMEBER I'M A PARTS SPECIALIST, NOT A TECH!! Thank you.. Skip

Automotive - oil light in chevy impala 2004


Expert: Skip Bollinger - 10/22/2007

Question
my change engine oil light came on a week after I had it changed in my chevy impala 2004. I tried to reset it manuel it worked once I put it in drive. Then I turned the car off and then I started it again the light came back on.

Answer
Andre,
  Sorry to take so long but I have been having trouble getting to this web site. There is an inquiry before yours but I can't get to it. IF that person reads this, I hope they understand I can't get to their mail to respond. It was for a Power Steering Problem with a 2006 Chevy. I'm still trying to help them.. Now to your problem
  I'm a Parts Professional, NOT a Tech. I spoke to a couple of my customers and they tell me there are various ways to turn off the light. They are ALL surprised the place that changed the oil didn't turn off the light.
  Depending on which system you have on your car (WHY GM did it this way is beyond me), you may have to:
  1. Turn the key to the "On" position.
  2. Floor the gas pedal 3 times QUICKLY.
  3. Start the car within 5 seconds..... NEXT
  It may have to be accessed through the Radio. I'm told it takes a special tool.
  Lastly I'm told it could be have to be reset through the under hood fuse box.
  I'm sorry to be sooo vague with this answer but this is what I'm told by my customers. Again, sorry to take so long to respond but I just couldn't log on.
  I hope this helps a bit and please remember I'm a Parts Professional, NOT a Tech. Thank you for your question and good luck.
