You do not need to touch the trip counter stick.

It's all in the owners manual. If you do not have one you can download one directly from GM.

I've never tried the "accelerator pedal" method. From my '08 Owner's manual (just did it this weekend):

To reset the Engine Oil Life system:

1. With the engine off, turn the ignition to ON/RUN.

2. Press and release the stem in the lower center

of the instrument cluster until the OIL LIFE

message is displayed.

3. Once the alternating OIL LIFE and RESET

messages appear, press and hold the stem

until several beeps sound. This confirms that the oil

life system has been reset.

4. Turn the key to LOCK/OFF.

Didn't hear the beep, but it reset, so...
