How do you rest the thing? 1999 model Aurora. Thanks  SignatureJoseph E. Meehan 26 + 6 = 1 It's Irish Math Look in you owners manual. It should tell you there. Some you turn the key on (with engine off) and press the gas 3 times within 30 sec. Some Gm's have a button to press and hold. Some actually have a oil reset feature.

However it appears they changed it in 97 or 98 and I am not sure that it is the same for 99. 1998 was the last year listed. SignatureJoseph E.

With key 'on', push "reset" repeatedly until the Change Oil light is flashing (the Alero's reset button alternates between resetting the Oil and the Low Tire Pressure warnings). Hold in the button until the chime sounds (about 5 seconds). Replace fuse panel cover, and forget it for another 7000 miles.
