Or is there an actual means to sence oil quality?
Onedef92 thank you- I had it changed shortly after I bought it -only have 3,000 on the Moble 1 does the light trigger from miles between changes? If so I am sure it was not reset then.Or is there an actual means to sence oil quality?
The "Change Oil " light comes on for a few seconds when you turn the ignition on. It will come on and stay on when it's time to change your oil.
The monitor uses oil temperatures and engine revolutions to decide when the oil is nearly worn out. The light is only a reminder, though. You should change your oil at the intervals recommended by your owner's manual, even if the "CHANGE OIL" light hasn't come on.
Be sure to reset the monitor when your oil is changed, even if the "CHANGE OIL" light didn't come on. If you do not reset the monitor, it will not work correctly.
To reset your monitor, take these steps:
1. Turn the key to "RUN", but do not start the engine
2. Press "ENG MET" on the trip monitor, Then, within five seconds, press it again.
3. Within five seconds, press and hold "GAUGES" on the trip monitor. The "CHANGE OIL" light should flash.
4. Hold the "GAUGES" button until the "CHANGE OIL" light stops flashing and goes out. This should take no more than ten seconds.
When the light goes out, the monitor is reset. If the monitor does not reset, turn the ignition off, then try again.
Changed mine on Saturday, jacked up the front after driving onto two 1 X 6s to get enough space to clear the jack. Placed on 6 inch ramps, then raised the car again to 10 inch ramps. On the C4, the oil drains back to the rear of the pan. On my 94, there are 4 lube zerks, top and bottom ball joints. When you change your filter, I recommend that you use Mobil 1, Wix, or AC Delco. You may want to read the posts on the quality of various oil filters. You used that 4 letter word again, SNOW. You and Remo are obsessed with it. I like Tom's idea of wiping the undercarriage with solvent - what do you use? Methylene Chloride, Trichloroethylene, MIBK, or some other toxic solvent? They alway work the best, but have associated health and disposal problems.
