Oil Life Index

The oil life parameter is calculated by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), and the information is provided to the DIC via class 2 messages. The oil life parameter is displayed on the DIC in the following format:

Oil Life ###%
The ### represent the calculated oil life value. The value ranges between 100% and 0%. The DIC displays - - - instead of an oil life index value if the DIC detects a loss of class 2 communications with the PCM. The oil life is reset to 100% by pressing the RESET button for greater than 3 seconds while the oil life index message is displayed.
