Does anyone know that if your oil needs changed does the check engine light on? Also how do you reset the reading for the oil on the DIC?

1 thing ive had happen to me once was the check engine light came on because of the gas cap not being tightened enough.
my mom had a VW golf and if you didnt click the gas cap like 3+ times the check engine light comes on and i think our cars do the same thing now too...
if you go to auto zone they'll check it for you free and i think the code they see when it is the gas cap is like 'emissions-cap sensor' or something.
edit- crap i misread your question...i thought yours was on and you thought it was the oil...lol'06 GTP w/ 3 pedals

you are supposed to change your oil with it hot.
and i don't think the MIL should come on when oil life gets down, if it does that is pretty stupid on GMs part. i thought it was supposed to be for emissions/OBD-II problems only.
and yeah the loose gascap will trip the evap monitor and throw a code. takes like 3 driving cycles to turn it back off i think.
