Default Lost Records HELP!!

I've lost the records of my oil changes. Kept in book other than manual. Any way I can access the mileage values where I reset the oil life back to 100% from the computer? Hard to sell without this info.
Thanks

If you registered your car at mychevrolet.com the history will show up there. Mine is.

Hope this helps and good luck with the sale.

I don't know how.
Perhaps the dealer can access it.
Good luck.

Only other suggestion is maybe have yourself hypnotized and the mileage is in your subconscious....lol.

When I traded my C5 in on a C7 back in April, the dealership didn't even ask for anything like that. And they sold it within two weeks.

PS: To answer your original question I really doubt they would be recoverable from the car.

Why is this thread in the C7 general discussion? Is it a 2000 C5? If so then try the C5 general discussion.

And by the way -- who cares? If you did the changes yourself then just make something up to the best of your recollection -- this is certainly not worth getting your shorts in a wad for.

As long as you actually did the work, a best guess list of when the changes were made should be good. And honestly, I've never been asked for any maintenance records when I've traded in a car.
