The check oil light really isn't meant as a level light...it's a pressure switch I believe, so it's not the best way to keep an eye on oil level.

The actual light is a "low oil". I think he just got it confused.

98-2000-- it is behind the inner fender left rear, near the gas filler tube.
 
2000 up ---it is on top of the gas tank.
 
I think the engine type dictates location

There was a TSB for vibrations in the steering column, commonly referred as the ISS (Intermediate steering shaft). Initially Oldsmobile was replacing the shaft but of course you know what happens when you replace a defective part with the same designed part....it also will become defective. Now it is recommended to grease the shaft. GM instructs that you have to physically remove the ISS from the car before greasing it which involves a lift and special equipment. A couple of years ago someone posted directions on how to grease the ISS from inside your car. I did this almost 3 years ago and noticed immediate improvements in driving the car. If you can't find it searching this forum (Use ISS in the search box), I may be able to give you the directions.
 
It's a simple and cheap ($3.50 for the can of grease).
