How To Reset Pontiac Montana Oil Change Light (2001-2009)

How To Reset Pontiac Montana Oil Change Light (2001-2009) – Montana is a large minivan so far produced in two generations and since 1997. It is exclusively on the North American market for the sale of General Motors brand Pontiac. The first generation shared the look and platform with other Chevrolet Venture, Oldsmobile Silhouette, and Opel Sintra minivans, and was initially sold under the name of Trans Sport, which was also worn by its predecessor, while Montana was just the name of the equipment level. However, in 1999, this name began to be used as a model name.

Second generation Montana was introduced to the market in 2005 and shares the look and platform of the models of Buick Terraza, Chevrolet Uplander, and Saturn Relay. It is equipped with a 3.5-liter six-cylinder engine and 200 hp and is manufactured around Atlanta in the state of Georgia.  The Montana name was also changed to Montana SV6. In America, Montana was produced until 2006. But in Canada, this car is produced until 2010 because of GM phasing out the Pontiac brand after the 2010 model year.
