How do you reset the change oil soon in a 1998 Buick Park Avenue Ultra?

The 1998 Buick Park Avenue Ultra doesn't have an electronic oil life system that can be reset like many newer cars. It relies on a simple indicator light that's typically triggered by either mileage or time (usually around 3,000-5,000 miles or 3-6 months, depending on your driving habits and the owner's manual recommendation).

Therefore, there's no reset button or procedure to "reset the change oil soon" light. Once you change the oil, the light will remain on until it's manually turned off (if your model even allows that). Most mechanics will turn it off using a scan tool but it's not a necessary procedure. Since it's a simple indicator light, most people simply ignore it after changing the oil.

To be clear: Changing the oil is the only way to address the "change oil soon" indicator. The light serves as a reminder; it's not a sophisticated system requiring a reset.
