Got an oil change yesterday and on the way into work today I thought to check and see if the mechanic reset the oil life from the info menu. Of course he didnt. I try pressing the reset button and it changes from "31%" to "XXX%" and then back to "31%". I've done this before in the past and had no trouble. What the hells goin on? Tried doing a search for "oil life reset" and didnt have any luck. Thanks for the help.

Press and hold it down longer.

You should be parked, in neutral, parking brake engaged.

yeah, you just have to hold it down for a second or two.

I dunno, on my '02 ZO6 vette you hold it down until it changes to XXX%, and then it won't change to 100% until you shut off the motor and start it again. I had to do my ZO6 on the fly this last time,and same thing, it would not change until next motor start-up.

I turn on the ignition (w/o starting) and press the gas pedal down three or four times...This is how it was in GTO and could swear that worked in my CTS-V also, but the manual only states doing it in the nav system.

If you look in nav manual:

1. turn nav unit (stereo) on
2. press info
3. go to 'engine oil life' by turning tune/sel ****
4. once the 'xxx%' engine oil life is displayed, press the reconfigurabl button next to the reset prompt
-the percentage will return to 100, and the oil life indicator will be reset. If it does not return to 100%, then repeat the steps 1 thru 4.
5. turn the key to off
- if the change oil message comes back on when you start vehicle, then the system has not been reset; go to step 1.

for the heck of it, I'm going to try the gas pedal method again and see if that does work on our cars. Thought that's how I did it last time on the V.

^^^OK, so I tried it and it worked.

Just turn on ignition, press gas pedal 4 times and it'll reset to 100%
