    It means the percent of usable life left in your vehicle is critically low and you should begin looking for a replacement. May I suggest a Yugo?







    Actually, it could mean a series of different things. A scan tool would be a good place to start.

    FLASHING LOW %!

    Was it like this?



    Just tell the car to shut up and keep driving, when the floorpan falls out because of this issue, then you should stop and check your oil and probably change it.

    The monitor doesn't know when you change the oil. You have to reset the monitor yourself.

    Did you reset the oil life monitor when you changed it?

    Could also be that you are low on washer fluid.

    Maaan- If its a 97-03 GP thats low on gas. Keep driving a little longer and the "low fuel" in the cluster will come on and even more ding ding ding. Nobody has a GP in here? lmao
    All Grand Prix, all the time. 69 Model J, 99 GT & GTP coupes. All junk, haha.

    Our 04 GP GT says the window washer fluid is low after i just filled it to the top. We joke that we better head back home when we see that. Never have seen a WWF reset on the info center and do not feel like wrestling with such a small annoyance. Ha ha.
