well, being a GM product this may work. You turn the key on but not starting car and step on the brake three times keeping it down for 15-20 seconds the third time, then turn key off and wait a few, start car and see if this does the trick. this does it for my truck. If not try you local pont. dealer, the service dept. should know.

Suggested Repair

With the ignition on and the engine off, press the brake pedal three times and hold it for 15-20 seconds on the third press, then turn the key off, wait briefly, and restart to see if the Change Oil light clears. If it does not, ask a Pontiac dealer service department to reset it.

Conversation Summary

The owner of a 2002 Pontiac Aztec with 74,100 miles, who changes the oil about every 3,000 miles, asked how to reset the Change Oil light. An expert said a GM method used on their truck may work: key on without starting, brake pressed three times with the third press held 15-20 seconds, key off, wait, then start. If that fails, they recommended the Pontiac dealer service department.
