Change engine oil on my '99 Chevy Silverado?

Comments (2)

I have a 1999 Chevy Silverado 4×2 extended cab 5.3 liter with about 192,000 miles on it. I have always babied it in regards to changing the fluids, filter, etc. and using the best fluids possible. Obviously it has very high miles but even after oil changes the "Change Engine Oil" message still appears. I have tried resetting the message (pump the brake 5 times with the key in the on position). The message flashes when I do this but it still appears after start up. I have read in the owner’s manual that this message is based off of oil burning (?) and not mileage. I don’t know what this means. How do I fix this problem? Does it mean that oil is passing the rings and burning in the cylinders?

Changing Oil on Cheveloret Impala….Reset Timer?

Comments (4)

I have a 2003 Cheveloret Impala. The change engine oil came on, and I had my oil changed. There is a certain way that you have reset the system for the ‘change oil light’ to go off. Does anyone have the manual or know how to reset this timer. I am missing pages out of my owner’s manual.

Thanks for the help.

2003 silverado. Change engine oil indicator. I don't have the DIC buttons. how do I reset it.?

I just have the line that shows hours, trip and mileage. When I start it up, it flashes "change engine oil" for about 10 seconds… I can’t toggle back to it and wonder how to reset it. The book only shows the 4 button DIC controls. I had already changed the oil, but.. now to reset?
you folks are awesome…. Thanks…… it worked…

On a tight budget, need help deciding what my car needs!?

Comments (4)

My car is a little over 25,000 miles. I get regular oil changes done to it. I haven’t rotated the tires once (oops.)

Some coupons came in from the dealership offering deals on maintenance to my car. The problem is that the costs involved are only "checking," not actually replacing the part.

I have a coupon for tire rotation .35

Four wheel alignment .95…..check steering, suspension and shocks. Set toe-in, camber and caster (where applicable.) Check tie-rods and ball joints. Check tire pressure and inspect tires for cuts, damage, and uneven wear. Plus tax.

Mainenance Special .95…..Change engine oil, filter. Rotate tires. Inspect air filter & Brake system.

I also notice that my car, when I hit bumps/potholes, makes a large rattling, especially in the front right. My friends and family say my car sounds like crap when I hit any kind of bump.

Also, sometimes when I brake, I hear a light knocking coming from the front, my brake pedal is fine, it’s just coming from where the tires are I think.

So, please give me advice. Which coupon(s) should I /need I use, and do you think they can check the rattling since my car is still under warranty?

Thanks!
