Maintenance Indicator Reset

HOW TO RESET THE CHANGE ENGINE OIL MESSAGE
The GM Oil Life System calculates when to change your engine oil and filter based on vehicle use. Anytime your oil is changed, reset the system so it can calculate when the next oil change is required. If a situation occurs where you change your oil prior to a "CHANGE ENGINE OIL" message being turned on, reset the system.

To reset the "CHANGE ENGINE OIL" message, do the following:

Without Driver Information Center (DIC)
1. Turn the ignition key to "RUN" with the engine off.
2. Fully press and release the accelerator pedal three times within five seconds. If the "OIL LIFE RESET" message flashes for 10 seconds, the system is resetting.
3. Turn the key to "LOCK".
4. If the "CHANGE ENGINE OIL" message comes back on when you start your vehicle, the engine oil life system has not reset. Repeat the procedure.

With Driver Information Center (DIC)
1. To reset the Oil Life System use the fuel button to reach the "ENGINE OIL LIFE" screen and then press and hold the "select" button for five seconds while "ENGINE OIL LIFE" is displayed. "OIL LIFE RESET" will appear on the display for 10 seconds to let you know the system is reset.

WHAT TO DO WITH USED OIL
Used engine oil contains certain elements that may be unhealthy for your skin and could even cause cancer. Do not let used oil stay on your skin for very long. Clean your skin and nails with soap and water, or a good hand cleaner. Wash or properly dispose of clothing or rags containing used engine oil. See the manufacturer's warnings about the use and disposal of oil products.

Used oil can be a threat to the environment. If you change your own oil, be sure to drain all the oil from the filter before disposal. Never dispose of oil by putting it in the trash, pouring it on the ground, into sewers, or into streams or bodies of water. Instead, recycle it by taking it to a place that collects used oil. If you have a problem properly disposing of your used oil, ask your dealer, a service station or a local recycling center for help.
