I have a 2002 chevy silverado with 52000 miles and a 5.3 liter engine. How do I reset the Change Oil Light after changing the oil?

Turn the key to the ON position and stomp on the accelerator 3 times in 10 seconds. The oil light should blink several times. Give it a few seconds. When it finishes, turn the key to off and leave it alone if possible for a few minutes. Ideally it should be reset immediately, but it doesn't always work that way. Can drive you crazy.
