Changing the Oil

My dealer said they changed the oil for me, free.

The display says it has 70% life left. Was I told a lie by the dealer?

Or is this normal??

I did not even think of that. I would have thought that in todays electronic age, it would have reset automatically or done some type of auto eval of the oil itself.

Good point!

Thanks!

Any other possibilities?

I think you pull up the oil life display, and hold down the reset button. Atleast that is how I did it on my Hummer.
