There is nothing wrong, it just needs resetting. Each time the oil is changed the light has to be reset. With the ignition key in RUN but engine off, fully push and release the accelerator pedel slowly three times within five seconds If the CHG OIL SOON light flashes, the systyem is reseting Turn the key to OFF then start the vehicle. If the CHG OIL SOON light comes back on the system has not reset. Repeat prosedure. This is stright from my 1998 Lumina oweners manuel.

The change oil light has nothing to do with the oil pressure light. There is a different light for that. The change oil light comes on after a parameter for the computer has been met. How many key cycles, duration of trip, miles on oil, temperature outside ect. If you get the oil changed at an independant make sure they can reset the light. If they cant the information is in your owners manual.

if you don't know when the oil was changed last then get it changed and then you can reset the light. Actually you can reset it whenever you want. You have to turn the key forward to then on position(not starting it) then press the gas pedal all the way to the floor 3 times and the light will blink. then turn your key off and start your car the light should be out. But make sure your not due first. It could be time or it could be that the light just wasn't reset the last time.
wow harry cat that is the dumbest answer I have ever heard congratulations.

Some cars make you reset the oil change light. On mine pontiac (made by gm as well) you have to hold in the trip odometer for 12 seconds while the key is forward (engine still off) to reset it.

I think there is a button in the fuse panel under the hood, you have to turn the ignition on, but not start the car, then press the button for five seconds or so, then start the car and the light should be out.

My parents I have a 2001 Chevy Lamina that does the same thing.
The reason why their car does that is they keep putting Pennzoil brand oil in their car.
I have told them over and over not to use Pennzoil but my step father is hell bend on it no matter what I say.
You might try to change your brand of oil to either Wal-Mart's Super Tech brand or Valvoline brand.
Also you might want to put the original brand of Oil filter on it as well which is AC-Delco. Don't use a Fram Oil filter, they cause problems with a lot of GM vehicles oiling system.
Hope this helps.
We did have a 1997 Lamina which we used Valvoline Oil and AC-Delco Filters with and the oil light never came on except for the 4 second bulb check on startup.

The computer inside of the car is programmed to start showing that at a predetermined interval. To get it off, refer to the owners manual and it will tell you step by step on how to get the light to stop showing up. Only problem is that it will do it the next time it hits the predetermined interval
