Engine Oil Life System

When to Change Engine Oil

Your vehicle has a computer system that lets you know

when to change the engine oil and ﬁlter. This is

based on engine revolutions and engine temperature,

and not on mileage. Based on driving conditions,

the mileage at which an oil change will be indicated can

vary considerably. For the oil life system to work

properly, you must reset the system every time the oil is

changed.

When the system has calculated that oil life has been

diminished, it will indicate that an oil change is

necessary. A change engine oil light will come on.

Change your oil as soon as possible within the next

600 miles (1 000 km). It is possible that, if you are

driving under the best conditions, the oil life system may

not indicate that an oil change is necessary for over a

year. However, your engine oil and ﬁlter must be

changed at least once a year and at this time the system

must be reset. Your dealer has GM-trained people

who will perform this work using genuine GM parts and

reset the system. It is also important to check your

oil regularly and keep it at the proper level.

If the system is ever reset accidentally, you must

change your oil at 3,000 miles (5 000 km) since your

last oil change. Remember to reset the oil life system

whenever the oil is changed.

How to Reset the Engine Oil Life

System

The Engine Oil Life System calculates when to change

your engine oil and ﬁlter based on vehicle use.

Anytime your oil is changed, reset the system so it can

calculate when the next oil change is required. If a

situation occurs where you change your oil prior to a

change engine oil light being turned on, reset the

system.

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

2. Fully press and release the accelerator pedal

three times within ﬁve seconds.

The change engine oil light will ﬂash while the

system is resetting.

3. Turn the key to LOCK.

If the change engine oil light comes back on and stays

on when you start your vehicle, the engine oil life

system has not reset. Repeat the procedure.
