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.
If all else fails, with the accesories to the car (the first part of the ignition sequence, I belive), you can push the gas pedal all the way to the floor and back to the original position three times. After that, it should reset the light.
how do you reset change the oil light in a 2004 alero?
turn off engine, and start again
Have vehicle scanned to determine the problem
Just press the reset button at the fuse panel on the driver side. Press it for some seconds and it will clear the light.
get a code scanner, or borrow one from a parts store, plug it in and clear codes
Turn the ignition key on for 10 minutes and it will reset.

There isn't one. Ford is mainly the only ones who have a reset switch.
After changing the engine oil, you must reset the system. To reset the system, you must do the following: 1. With the ignition key to ON, push the RESET button located in the driver's side instrument panel fuse block. 2. When the CHANGE OIL light starts to flash, press and hold the RESET button again. The reset is complete when you hear the chimes sound and the CHANGE OIL light goes out.
