When I first started the car up a few days ago my change oil light came on.
Its far from needing the oil changed. Then a few days later my Trac off,
Anti-Lock, and service vechile soon light are on now. I got a shop to see
if there is a code on their computer. Nothing shows up it acts fine then
they reset the computer. I started it today lights are back on. Anyone
seen this before?? This is really odd to me.

The change oil lamp is unrelated.
There were codes that were present prior to the shop resetting your lamps.
You should take your vehicle to another shop which can actually diagnose
this problem. A dealer comes to mind first.

Hmm, I was hoping to see how to turn off the change oil
light.

I just got a 99 Intrigue. In fact, only put about 80 miles
on it so far. Got it inspected and then filled with gas
this morning.

Anyway, Tonight my 'change oil' light came on. But I
know the oil was changed within 100 miles.

Is that a 'time or mileage' thing? And how do I turn it
off?

If memory serves me you turn the key to ON and depress the accelerator pedal
three times within five seconds to reset it.

Thanks! I got a number of responses on this. Some
a bit different than others.

What worked for me...

Start with key off

Turn key to ACC

Press accelerator to floor 3 times in 5 seconds.

Change Oil light should start flashing.

When flashing stops, turn key OFF, then start engine.
Light should stay off.
