Hello,

This is the oil light producer from the book.

ENGINE OIL REPLACEMENT REMINDER RESET - PROCEDURE 17
Reset Procedure

Turn the ignition to ON, with the engine off.
Press the MODE button until the Driver Information Center (DIC) reads OIL LIFE
LEFT/HOLD SET TO RESET.

Press and hold the SET button until 100% is displayed. You will hear three chimes and the CHANGE ENGINE OIL message will go off. Turn the key to OFF.
If the CHANGE ENGINE OIL message comes back on when engine is started, the engine oil life system has not reset. Repeat the procedure.


Alternate Method (Some Models)
Turn the ignition key to RUN with the engine off.
Fully press the release the accelerator pedal 3 times within 5 seconds. Several beeps sound. This confirms the oil life system has been reset.

If the CHANGE/OIL message comes back on when you start the engine, the engine oil life system has not been reset. Repeat the procedure.

Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Cheers, Ken
