I had the same problem on an Oldsmobile, which is the same 3800 engine. Does it die when youre off the gas coming to a stop? In mine the Idle Air Control sensor was dirty, so the car computer wasnt getting a right reading on the air intake into the eingine so it thought that it was lower than it actually was. in responce the engine adjusts the fluel flow accordingly and there isn't enough to keep the engine going so it stopped. clean the valve or replace it

How often should you change the oil in a Chevy Impala?

Change it every 3500 miles if it is a pre 1995 vehicle. If it is a post 1995 Impala change it every 5,000 miles. It will say in your owner's manual. If you don't have one, you can go to a parts store and find a maintenance schedule on the first few pages of the Haynes manual for that vehicle.

Turn the ignition key to the on/acc position without the engine running. Press the accelerator 3 times within 5 seconds. Turn the key to the off position and then fire up the engine. The oil message should be gone. this is supposed to be done every time the oil has been changed.
