Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.

Change Engine Oil

The IPC illuminates the CHANGE OIL indicator when the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) determines that the engine oil should be changed. The IPC receives a class 2 message indicating the engine oil life from the PCM.

After the oil is changed, reset the engine oil monitor. Refer to GM Oil Life System-Resetting in Maintenance and Lubrication.
