To clear the change oil light on most GM cars, turn the key to ACC then pump the gas pedal 3 times.

In the owners manual. Hold the Trip/Reset button in for several seconds until it goes away.

I held down the trip reset button and then turned the ignition key to the "on" position. The light would blink after a few seconds and then turn off.

How to Reset the Oil Change Light

After changing the engine oil, the system must be reset.

1. Turn the ignition key to RUN and with the engine
turned off.

2. Push the TRIP/OIL RESET button located on the
instrument panel for 12 seconds.The OIL CHANGE
light will start to flash to confirm that the system is
reset. The reset is complete when the OIL CHANGE
light goes out.
