I may have overlooked it in my search, though, so bear with me.
I got my oil changed yesterday, and the light is still on. I tried the same thing as the "Low Tire Pressure" light...nothing. Is there a different way to go about turning this particular light off?
Thanks.

First, check the oil. I wouldn't put it past some places to forget to refill it.
I don't know how you're doing it but just in case:
-remove fuse panel cover on driver's side
-turn key to "ON"
-press red "RESET" button, CHANGE OIL should flash
-press and hold "RESET" until car chimes, CHANGE OIL should go away
If that doesn't work, bring it back to the place you got it changed, play dumb, and ask them to reset it 'cause you don't know how "They always do it for me, you must have forgotten."

Put your key in the ignition and turn it to ON but don't start the car. Open the drivers side fuse panel and you will see a big red button with RESET written on it. Press it once and your oil change light should start flashing. Hold down the reset button until you hear some chimes. That will reset the oil light.

Floor the gas 3 times
Turn it on

Don't know if it'll work on the tire pressure light though.

My 99 had the red reset button, but my 04 doesn't so flooring the gas three times with the key turned on, but not started is my only option! Don't know if this is the same for others as well???
