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 (1000 km). It is possible that, if driving under the best conditions, the oil life 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 3000 miles (5000 km) since last oil change.
Resetting Procedure
Follow this procedure to reset the GM Oil Life System ™
- Turn the ignition to ON with the engine off.
- Press the TRIP button so the OIL LIFE percentage is displayed.
- Press the RESET and hold for two seconds. OIL LIFE REMAIN 100 percent will appear.
