good to know, but it also sounds like gm is just b-****ting the public so we are forced to use the dealership. like that stupid oil change light in my 04 express vanthat wont go off unless the dealership puts in a code or it violates their warranty if a mechanic does it.

Rooster, On your 04 van turn the key on and push the gas pedal down 3 times within 10 seconds of turning the key on and that should reset your change oil light. Korey.
