Default Oil Change Reset

Just changed my oil read the manual page 5-18 on 2005, and the best I can get it to read 99% after holding it in for 3 seconds, I hear beep, but still set at 99%.
What am I doing wrong, I use to reset it 100%.

If I'm remembering right it goes to 100% if you reset while the engine is running. If thats how you did it then try with engine not running.

Last oil change the dealership gave back the car with 100%, and other changes I had reset to 100%, but forgot how I did it. Getting old.

Mine has gone to 100 before...I never worry one way or the other. I seem to remember that with the engine running, you get 99 and off but ignition on, you get 100. It may be the reverse of this also.

My C5 would show 100%, but 99% is the best my C6 does.

Just reset it in the "on" mode without starting. (hold down until all instruments light up) It starts at 100% then. But it quickly gets down to 99%!

Some of the more **** forum members change the oil when it gets to 99%....so the difference between 99 and 100 is important to them..

Hold the reset button, with the engine running at 1,600rpm, and the radio set to 98.6 FM.

You'll get 101%
