Default Oil Change

Well this was my 1st oil change. I bought the car used and the dealer did not supply a owners manual. I now have one on order though. Question is I just changed the oil and how do you reset the DIC to 100%?

Sorry for such a simple question, I'll try and come up with some better ones later.

Thanks for any help on this.

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.

Thanks for the quick reply. I was doing it with the engine running.

Tony, how many quarts of Mobil One did it take to bring you up to the Max line on the dipstick? Thanks, Mark
