Engine Oil Life Reset

HOW TO RESET THE ENGINE OIL LIFE SYSTEM
When the system has calculated that oil life has been diminished, it will indicate that an oil change is necessary. A "CHANGE OIL SOON" message will come on. Change the engine oil as soon as possible within the next 600 miles (1 000 km). It is possible that, if driving under the best conditions, the oil life system may not indicate that an oil change is necessary for over a year. However, the engine oil and filter must be changed at least once a year and at this time the system must be reset.

If the system is ever reset accidentally, change the engine oil at 3,000 miles (5 000 km) since last oil change.

To reset the Engine Oil Life System, do the following:
1. With the "CHANGE OIL SOON" message displayed, press any of the three driver information center (DIC) buttons to clear the "CHANGE OIL SOON" message.
2. Display "OIL LIFE RESET" on the Driver Information Center (DIC).
3. Press and hold the "ENTER" button for at least one second. An "ACKNOWLEDGED" display message will appear for three seconds or until the next button is pressed. This will tell you the system has reset.
4. Turn the ignition to "OFF".

If the "CHANGE OIL SOON" message comes back on when you start the vehicle the Engine Oil Life System has not reset. Repeat the procedure.
