Turn key on and pump throttle 3 times to the floor. Turn key off. Next time you turn key back on it should be reset.

This is more or less how the service tech's do it.

Why bother doing it that way? Just hit the reset button for a few seconds (with the display on oil life and the key on but engine not running)

I never understand why people do it the other way with the gas pedal when you can just hit the reset button.

I agree with you on this, but consider the intangibles at work here!! maybe some of us can't get enough of flooring our 'Vettes!!! And some of us (ME!!) have a couple tickets , so this is a no risk way of using our imaginations!!

This is how every GM vehicle I've owned (since 2000) has worked....it's easier to remember how to reset it since it's the same for both of my current vehicles.
