It's called being in a big hurry and not knowing when I will get back. It was faster for someone to post that link.

Yes except the '91 has a different button, I think instead of eng/met, you have range or something like that.

Tech Tip...................


https://www.corvetteforum.com/techti...=255&TopicID=2

Oil Life Monitor reset (Change Oil Light) 1990 - 1996 -- 1 of 1
Date Published: 2003-12-11


Seeing as this question is posted every so often, I thought I would put it in the tech tips for easy access. It works both on my 91 and a friends 95. 1. Turn the key to the "ON" position, but don't start the engine. 2. Press the ENG/MET button on the Trip Monitor and release it. Then, within five seconds, press and release the ENG/MET button again. 3. Within five seconds, of Step 2, press and hold the RANGE (1990-1991) button or the GAUGES (1992-1996) button on the Trip Monitor. The CHANGE OIL light will flash. 4. Hold the RANGE or GAUGES button until the CHANGE OIL light stops flashing and goes out. When the light goes out, the Engine Oil Life Monitor is reset. This should take about ten seconds. If it doesn't reset, turn the ignition "OFF" and repeat the procedure. If you remember to follow the procedure after every oil change, you should never see that light again.

That helps. I couldn't find a "gauges" button anywhere.
