Wondering if anyone knows how to shut off the "change oil" light after an oil change. Changed oil myself and I dont have the car manual.

Thanks in advance.
Misha.

Yep, open the fuse panel on the inside of drivers door, locate the red RESET button, near the top of panel, with the key turned to ON position and car NOT running, push the RESET button until change oil light flashes, let go of the button and hit it again, this should make it go out. If you have manual it will list it in there as well. Let me know if you can't get it.

Also when you hold the button, you have to keep it held down for about 5-7 seconds. When you hit it a second time, hold it down again and you should hear a beep. This is the same procedure for the "LOW TIRE PRESSURE" light except when the change oil light flashes, hit the reset button for just a quick second and it will change to the low tp light.

Thanks guys, it did work. Nice to dirve without having your speedometer lit up like a x-mas tree.
Thank you again,
Misha.
