Default Oil Change

I just changed my oil and the oil indicator still says change oil soon. I tried to hit reset and then reset again and hold it for 2 seconds and I can't seem to get it to go to 99 percent. Anybody know what I'm doing wrong? I have a 98 vert.

Not sure what you did but there's two ways I know of:

Turn the key to on but don't start the car. Display the oil life indicator on the DIC and press and hold reset until it shows 100%.

or

Turn the key to on but dont start the car. Press the accelerator three times in a row.

(Maybe you didn't hold reset long enough or you started the car?)

Have you started the car? Maybe my memory is bad, but it seems to me that the same thing happened once but after resetting and then starting the car and running through the gauges, it came up ok.
