[V6-12v] Service Indicator warning

[Ron Wainwright]

  Brian,

  Man that was fast response time!
 But the question still is what does O1L or OIL mean?
The glove box manual saies that oil change service is
indecated as OEL & not as I mentioned above.
 + is this OBDII? & can the Pep Boys scanner work. I
know a few people down at the dealer that could do it
for free but I hate bugging those guys cause there so
busy all the time.
Thanks
Ron
