I have a 98 3.8L GT and the Change Oil Soon light stays on for about a minute every time I start my car. It started happening around 94k miles. I change the oil every 3k miles so I'm not sure why the light stays on.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks,

did you reset the light? with the ignition on but engine not running pump the gas 3 time and it should say light reset. good luck

 

Well that seemed to do the trick. Thanks.

 

u might want to check your oil pan gasket. i have the same problem in my 97 GT and a mechanic said there is a leak in the pan and it causes engine oil pressure to be waaaaaaaay off when u start the car but after a few seconds the engine will build up the necessary amount of pressure and the light will go off. which is what mines does. hope this helps.
