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.
1.
With the ignition key
in
RUN but the engine
off,
repeatedly push the tripheset button until
OIL
is
displayed on the Driver Information Center (DIC).
2. Once
OIL
is displayed, push and hold the tripheset
button for five seconds. The number will disappear
and be replaced by
100
(indicating
100%
oil life
remaining).
3.
Turn the key to
OFF.
If the change engine oil message comes back on,
the engine oil life monitor has not reset. Repeat the
procedure.
What
to
Do
with
Used
Oil
Used engine oil contains certain elements that may be
unhealthy for your skin and could even cause cancer.
Don’t 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.
