Post Oil Change HUD Notification
I just noticed that after changing out my oil, the DIC indicates my oil is now at 99%, however the HUD still shows the oil at about 50% or half-way up the vertical stack. Is there a trick in resetting the HUD so that it matches the DIC?

Two completely different measurement values. Your DIC is measuring oil life til next change. So, if you have 99% soon after your change that is normal and accurate. Your HUD measures oil pressure and the bars will move with RPM. Now, there is a setting under "gauges" that measures pressure and that reading (in numbers) should match your approximate measure (in bars) on the HUD.
