GM Oil Life System Resetting
When the system has calculated that oil life has been diminished, it will indicate that an oil change is necessary. A CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON message will come on. Change the engine oil as soon as possible within the next 600 miles (1 000 km). It is possible that, if driving under the best conditions, the oil life system may not indicate that an oil change is necessary for over a year. However, the engine oil and filter must be changed at least once a year and at this time the system must be reset.
If the system is ever reset accidentally, change the engine oil at 3,000 miles (5 000 km) since last oil change.
How to Reset the Engine Oil Life System
- With the brake pedal released, depress and hold the engine start/stop button until ignition on/run engine off mode is entered.
- Using the right steering wheel control SEL button, navigate the menu until the oil life monitor appears. With the monitor active, press and hold the SEL button until the monitor resets.
- Press and hold the reset button until the DIC display shows ACKNOWLEDGED.
- Depress the start/stop button once to turn the ignition off.
The system is reset when the CHANGE OIL SOON message is off.
If the CHANGE OIL SOON message comes back on when you start the vehicle, the Engine Oil Life System has not reset. Repeat the procedure.
Alternate Method
- With the brake pedal released, depress and hold the engine start/stop button until ignition on/run engine off mode is entered.
- Depress and release the accelerator pedal three times.
- The life monitor display should now read 100%.
- Depress the start/stop button once to turn the ignition off.
