Cadillac Check oil won't reset
Check Oil Level with Full Oil?
(Or Check Oil Level won't reset)

odd, as one might expect the oil level monitor to automatically reset: Cadillac DeVille, Seville and Eldorado for the 2000 model year have an oil level monitor on the 4.6L engine. A Check Oil Level message appears on the instrument panel when the oil level is approximately one quart low. Bringing the oil level to the full mark on the dipstick will not turn the message off; it must be done manually. Here’s how. Before the message can be reset, the oil level monitor must see a coolant temperature drop of 10°C (18°F). This may require allowing the vehicle to sit for up to 2 hours to allow the coolant temperature to drop. Coolant temperature can be confirmed with a scan tool. After the cooldown period, turn the ignition ON for at least one second, but do not crank the engine. Turn the ignition OFF and remove the key from the lock cylinder. Reinstall the key and start the engine. Confirm that the oil level message is no longer displayed. This information will be included in future owner’s manuals. |
