when changing mine, I add 6, run it at idle for a couple minutes, then add another 1/2. as far as how to reset the oil-life, haven't looked into that--I just keep track of it on the trip b.
*I don't have hud though. I go by the dic readout and the dipstick.

Except that the HUD isn't displaying how much oil you have in your car it's displaying the oil pressure and being in the middle is normal.

Glad to help and I'm so happy that you didn't keep topping her up based on her being half empty :)

You can get a PDF of the owner's manual, btw. It's on http://www.myGmLink.com
