Grand Am oil monitor
We got the oil changed in my wife'* 04 GA with the 3400 three weeks ago after 4500 miles without the "Change oil" light coming on. Yesterday, with just under 1000 miles since the oil change, the light came on. The level, color, smell, and feel are all good. Wacky sensor?

Someone on GAownersclub gave me the fix a moment ago. Thanks.

I would assume it would be similar systems.
I know for a fact the corvette monitors, temp on start, gear you are in, rpms, warm up time, duration of trip, exterior temp, and so many more factors that I can't remember.
edit: and my dad'* tahoe'* system is similar to the corvette. when I romped it off road the OLM dropped multiple % and we only added a mile or two to the odo.
