How to Reset the Engine Oil Life
System
The Engine Oil Life System calculates when to
change the engine oil and filter based on vehicle
use. Anytime the oil is changed, reset the system
so it can calculate when the next oil change is
required. If a situation occurs where you change the
oil prior to a change engine oil light or CHANGE OIL
SOON message being turned on, reset the system.
After changing the engine oil, reset the system by
performing the following steps:
• Vehicles with Driver Information Center (DIC)
1. Press the option button on the DIC until
ENGINE OIL MONITOR appears on the
DIC screen.
2. Press the set/reset button to reset the
system. The next screen indicates that
the CHANGE OIL SOON message
has been reset.
If the vehicle has the uplevel DIC, when
the gages button is pressed and the
OIL LIFE REMAINING mode appears,
it should read 100 percent OIL LIFE
REMAINING.
3. Turn the key to OFF.
• Vehicles without Driver Information
Center (DIC)
1. With the engine off, turn the ignition
key to RUN.
2. Fully press and release the accelerator
pedal slowly three times within
five seconds.
3. Turn the key to OFF, then start the
vehicle.
If the light or message comes back on when
you start your vehicle, the oil life system 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. 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.
