Hi guys,

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. Whenever the oil is changed, reset the system so it can calculate when the next oil change is required. If a situation occurs where the oil is changed prior to a CHANGE OIL message being turned on, reset the system. 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. If the CHANGE OIL message comes back on when the vehicle is started, the engine oil life system has not reset. Repeat the procedure |
Thanks a lot!!!

If a situation "I AM A DIKK FOR TRYING TO POST SPAM AT THIS FORUM" occurs where you change your oil prior to a CHANGE ENGINE OIL message being turned on, reset the system. To reset the Engine Oil Life System, do the following: 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. SPAMMER 3. Turn the key to LOCK. 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. If it still does not reset, see your dealer for service. thanks a lot for sharing ____________________ AND MORE SPAM |
Virtually all of the oil changes I've had done to my new cars have been done by the selling dealer's service department while I've had the car in for warranty service. Over the past ten or so such changes, the the change oil light has been reset exactly once, despite my having asked them specifically to this. In every case, I found the procedure clearly described in the owner's manual after the light came on. My concern with the Hummer, though, is that my monthly On-Star diagnostic reflected that my oil hadn't been changed until I reset it myself - meaning that I need to keep my records in order (as, I suppose, I should in any event).

I know, this is an old thread but I haven't been able to find what I'm looking for.
Am I the only one that can't get any beeps during the oil life reset? I hold that stem down for 30-45 seconds and it doesn't do a thing, just keeps blinking like it did from the start. How do I know it reset? If it's just the beeps, I'm at a loss. FYI-The change oil light did not come on. I'm just changing the oil on my own. Any ideas? Thanks! |
the owners manual would have been easier to read LMAO

I do have an aftermarket head unit. I used the GMOS-01 interface and have all the chimes, etc. That must be the cause. I'll just keep records of when I changed the oil I guess.
Thanks |
Well done! Thanks for the helpful info.
