check oil light on

the check oil light is on all the time and the oil is full. but if i turn the car off after it has been runing the light will go off.
Is this problem common and if so what is the fix for it or do i just have to live with it.

Thanks :confused:

Try opening your fuse panel cover and push and hold the "reset" button for 3 seconds. It is a button to reset the oil light and check tire pressure light.

My 96 did that for a while also, right after oil change. I'm not sure if it was because I overfilled it a tad, or the crummy filter I put on. Anyway it got over it after awhile and stayed out (mine is getting old and a little oil tends to dissappear from it :p )

my 96 did that and the oil level sensor was bad. i just unplugged it and connected the two wires, and it went out for good.

mine was on on my 96, the oil level sensor was bad. i just d/c it and crossed the two wires and its been out for good.

i had the same problem, you have to turn the key to on and put the car in neutral and then press the gas petal 3 times fully, and then turn the key off and start the car and the light will be gone. Sounds goofy but it really works!

thats for the change oil light not the oil level light

I just posted a question regarding my "Change Oil" warning light because I've been trying to reset it for two days now...

OMG!!!!

What you said to do worked! What a stupid car...lol.
