Find where it says "oil life" and press and hold "reset" for 2 - 3 seconds.

I agree & just to clarify, several taps of the TRIP button leads to Oil Life.

I have to assume your 06 didn't come with a Owner's Maunal so here's a link to the free on-line version - https://www.mygmlink.com/pdf/go2cont...06corvette.pdf

BTW the instructions can be found on page 5-24

One thing the Vette engineers did right. My Wife's Mercedes has to be done by the dealer and most of them won't do it w/o doing the overblown oil change for $300.

You could always reset a Mercedes through it's very own DIC, look at the manual.

Wait 20 minutes and your DIC will be ready to go.

05 and up C class can't be done via the DIC.
