Default Here is a weird one

Today I got in my car and went to reset the trip A & B I scrolled through the rest of the trip settings and my oil life was 99% but only last week it was at
48% where it should have been is there anyway possible I could have reset the oil life without really changing the oil? I was under the impression you had to change the oil before the DIC would reset

QUIMBO :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :seeya :seeya

You can reset it at any time, regardless of oil changes.

If you pump 3-5 times on the gas pedal (or is it the brake ?) with the ignition on and engine off, I believe the oil monitor resets.

Hey Vince I did reset the trip but cant figure out for the life of me how the hell the oil got reset I swear it is really strange all I did was reset A&B trip and the car was running so I cant figure it out. Oh yeah the Transgo is AWESOME!!!!!!! man I love the shifting through the gears the car really feels like a different car. Talk to you soon Vince
