My change oil indicator on the DIC never lights up in self-test. What does the 94 owner'* manual say about it?

Top left indicator is check oil level. Right below it is change oil. But it never lights up.

Simple, you never have to change oil

I've got 6 quarts of Mobile downstairs

Guy rang that up and the filter, but missed the filter cap/socket thingy. Woo hoo free oil wrench!

my change oil soon light comes on at self test for a few seconds with the rest of the lights, ive never had it come on because i change mine every 3000 kms. All i use is ACDelco filters, and Quaker State Higher milage 10w30. Usually at change time the oil is dark, but not black, i never let it get black.
Anyone else use quaker state..is this a good choice for me at 156,000 miles?

My dad always ran Mobil 1 synthetic in my moms old 86 park ave, that car had low miles on it however. People say that there is a parafin build up problem with QS..personally i think that is just lack of maintence..

next oil change im gunna take a chance and run some engine flush through it, and then i will try something other than QS just to see if there is any diffrence, if it goes darker quicker then i know its really doing its job, maybe it will help me at cold start up, i notice even with 5w30 in 32 degrees the lifters knock brefiely for a few seconds then go away.

Meh, when I do PrincessJeanie'* car it rubs real bad. Air dam bends a little bit, but my metal ramps have black paint, so her car doesn't appear to be marked up. (Don't tell her about this )

Now it is time for a few n00bie questions.
What is the DIC?
What do you mean by the "lifters" tapping when you cold start the car? Maybe you can point me in the direction of a website that explains what lifters are.

Thanks a lot

You scrape my my car!! *And* you bend my air dam!?!?! Oh someone is in *so* much trouble!!

But nah, I love my free oil changes...okay, sorry, you may all get back on topic...

I just use dinosaur oil and a Fram filter... but it'* changed religously, 3000km pretty much or when it gets dirty, whichever comes first. >.<

Don't use the Fram!!! They fall apart VERY bad. I have 2 of their nicer ones the old owner gave me when i bought the car from him. I still have them for a reason.

I bought 6 quarts of Mobil 1 supersyn 10w30 and on PF47, and a filter wrench. The guy missed the oil filter wrench (cap type) so i got it free Fits nice with our HUGE socket wrench we have.

I changed my oil on my own for the first time. Done it before with my dad on old cars, but for $13 for dino oil i couldn't complain. Got the plug out good, but the oil didn't feel like hitting the pan where I had it! Oh well... The floor needed some character. But my car has Synthetic blood now, it idles so smooth. I'll have to make a Mobil 1 only sticker for under the hood like the AMG and Vette'* etc.....
