I don't mean this to be a "flame" for anyone, but I can't imagine buying a car like this and not reading the owner's manual cover to cover the first night you get it. A second or third re-read is usually in order after you drive it awhile and try out different settings, etc.
Maybe all of my years of flying Navy jets was poor preparation, but I wouldn't consider flying a plane without reading and learning the flight manuals!
Yes, it amazes me too that so many people buy high technology "toys" and never learn how to even set a clock, such as on a VCR.

Or maybe some od us don't have the time to sit and read an owners manual and figure stuff out on our own. This is no Navy jet, its a car, and not a coplicated one at that.

The fact that we have a thread discussing this topic is proof that this is a complicated car and that things like the DIC oil life indicator can be misunderstood be someone that has not read the manual.

Actually you can just turn on the key (without starting) and floor the gas 3 times quickly no matter what mode the DIC is in. You do not have to be looking at the oil life percentage to reset it with the pedal.
This procedure seems to work on many late GM cars, not just the C5.
