Default 2 questions

Afternoon everyone,
I have a few questions that are eating at me. The first concerns the fuel rail, and aftermarket fuel rails. What lbs are a stock 2000 C-5 running and what will aftermarket rails do? Is it a night and day perf. increase? If so what are some good brands to go with.
Next is what is the button combo used to gain access to the read out concerning oil life remaining? I have changed my oil but yet still reads 12%.
As always any help is very appreciated!

Not sure about the first question, but the oil life can be reset by calling up the oil life remaining on the DIC and holding the reset button.

If you are running mostly stock you really won't see any performance gain from new fuel rails other than looks, I think the pressure on a 2000 stock is around 56-58.

turn the key to on but do not start the car.
Depress the gas pedal to the floor hold a second,
release,
depress and hold again
release
depress and hold again
release

your oil life should now be reset.
