12 years ago

On my 2013 Chevy Silverado.....will the change oil warning reset itself after the oil is changed or does it have to be reset at the dealership where I purchased the truck? How can I reset this myself?

Use google to search for comments. Use this search string to generate applicable results:

2013 silverado "change oil light"

Include the quotation marks.

If you are permitted to reset this light, there may be instructions in your owner's manual. The general consensus of opinion I found with a google search is this:

Turn the ignition switch to run (but do not start the engine). Fully depress and release the accelerator pedal 3 times within 5 seconds. Insure there is nothing to interfere with a full stroke of the pedal.

Beckett AFG oil burner problem
Q
Comments (35)
Hello all. Cincinnati, Ohio calling out for help. Like Rusi P, I have the same problem and have the Beckett R7184B as well. So I opened the window and found one of the spark ignitor wires off and had grounded and signs of an old spark-burnt area in the box. So I thought, well heck that’s an easy fix. pulled the tip out since I was in there and cleaned it all up. Put it all back together including the disconnected wire which I clamped a little tighter to stay. Well it’s still doing the cycle for awhile then into recycle mode....then the pump kicks on a minute or so later. No flame this time and then shuts off into lockout. With all that said, questions....did the short take out my primary ( but it appears to be acting somewhat reasonable with the proper reset functions- meaning if it got cooked I would assume it would not even reset correctly) . Or could all this be a bad thermistor? Please help

oil burner goes into reset

Was the burner doing this before the filter and nozzle were replaced? If not and its a one pipe system it's possible the pump was not bled properly after the filter replacement. It could be a bad nozzle, I've seen brand new ones N/G. If it's been doing it all along there are about a dozen common things that can cause a burner to trip. All involve actually getting into the burner itself, removing and checking components. Are you that familiar with the inside of an oil burner to feel comfortable pulling it apart and putting it back together correctly?

If the burner goes on reset on a regular basis and you aren't an experienced burner tech it could end up costing you much more doing parts replacement on a guess than just calling for service and having it done right. Some problems are very simple to fix and require no parts change, others aren't so simple. Something that you can do yourself that would be of help to a tech would be to watch the burner go through some cycles to determine if it locks out during a long run, if it starts but doesn't fire, it fires but locks out at the end of trial for ignition or if occasionally the burner doesn't start when it should then it just locks out.

It sure sounds like a loose connection somewhere, probably in the motor. Quality brand name motors, which never gave any trouble, are now made in places where quality control is marginal to save money and the quality has really gone downhill.

Our Saturn vue had a reset button in fuse box under hood. Did engineers think the oil techs would like that? I know the Saturn brand was a "world" car and used "out of he box" ideas, but please.
