Just changed my oil and filter.


How do I get the little OIL warning light off my HUD?
How do I reset the Oil "LIFE"?




Thanks!

easy way, bring it up on the DIC, key to on, gas pedal to floor three times !!!!!!

If you bring it up using the trip button on the DIC you can hold down the reset button.

So, bring it up on the DIC - as in to where it reads "Oil Life"?
...that is another thing, the Oil Life has disappeared and when I cycle through, I am not seeing it. Maybe I am being a cadet and just missing it.

Here is what my 04 manual says.

How to Reset the CHANGE OIL SOON
Message
The GM 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 OIL SOON message being turned on,
reset the system.
To reset the CHANGE OIL SOON message after an
oil change, do the following:
1. Turn the ignition to ON, with the engine off.
2. Press the TRIP button so the OIL LIFE percentage
is displayed.
3. Press RESET and hold for two seconds.
OIL LIFE REMAIN 100% will appear.
4. Turn the key to OFF.
If the CHANGE OIL SOON message comes back on
when you start your vehicle, the engine oil life system
has not reset. Repeat the procedure.

You don't need to bring up the DIC, just key on (don't start engine) and press gas pedal three times/

I change the oil every spring, when I put the car back on the road. I seldom remember to reset it.....I think I've reset it 3-4 times, at most, in the 16 years I've owned the car..........and the "change oil light" has never come on.

My 2000 only has 18K miles on it. I don't think I know if mine even has an "oil light" or not.

Okay, so I got the oil life to reset to 100%...but the little oil can icon is still showing on my HUD.
How to I solve that one?

I just had an oil change , my little can is there . I think it stays as a display

My Vette Life

Its on the HUD page options button next to HUD adjustment. If you're not sure where that is, you can find it in owners book

IrishViking505

so...does that just stay there as an option? Or is it actually a warning icon?

I hear you!!

My '01 just turned 26,000 miles.......

Pounder

bring it up so you can make sure it goes back to 100 % !!!!!! ( does not always !!)

I think that could either be linked to oil level, or oil pressure, too..........

DVUSz06

The oil can light in the HUD is there because someone has the display set to show oil pressure in the HUD, the vertical bar graph to the right shows oil pressure. If I remember correctly you can chose from 3 different options for this graph. Oil pressure, fuel level (image of gas pump shows in place of oil can) and also coolant temp (with appropriate icon).

Do you have an owners manual? It shows the different options and how to change them.
On a side note there is also a shift light in the display for manual trans cars. It lights up just under the the top of rpm graph when you get close to red line.
