Reset Gauge
I have my '03 serviced recently and when I checked the oil life left it showed 62%. I called the GM dealer and he told me that obviously they forgot to reset. I can take it back there but it is in a town about 40 miles away and we don't get there during the work week very often. He was going to try and talk me thru it but I did not have the car with me. Can a very technically challenged person reset this on his/her own? Thanks.
PS I have not noticed any other things that need reseting, am I missing something?

reset oil life
The Owners Manual says to use the DIC to reset the oil life. I was able to but sometimes it took a DOZEN OR MORE TIMES before it would actually reset. The key on and 3 fast pressing of the throttle pedal to the floor works like a champ. Try it. You will LIKE IT.
