Oil light
 
Back in early January i changed the oil in my saturn and after the change had been done i started up the car and the "change oil soon" light lit up on the dash. It remained on for about 1-2mins before it finally went off. Ive changed my oil many times before and ive never seen this light come on at all. I did the same process as i have been doing since i got the car. I know its probably nothing serious at all, but its pretty annoying knowing that i just changed the oil and its still telling me to change oil soon. The light still comes on to this day

It may be just a coincidence, but it's possible the oil sending unit is going bad or the connector to it needs cleaning. Does your car have a message center that keeps showing up and if so, did you do a reset of it? I'm not sure, but on my Equinox and the Caliber I had, you had to turn the key on, press the accelerator to the floor 3 times within 5 seconds, turn the key off, and then start it up and be on your way. No more message.

Sounds like the light was not reset during/after the oil change ...

If you still have your owners manual, the procedure should be in there.

None of the S series had an oil change light, if its just an oil symbol with no letters its the Oil pressure low light

my wife's SL1 has it as well... there should be a button in the underhood fuse box to reset the light...

If my 94 has one, I have never seen it.
