Default DIC oil life?

I changed my oil the other day for the first time since I bout it. I went to reset the oil life % in the DIC and it did nothing. I went to trip and poped up the oil life part and held down reset and it went to _ _ _ % and never changed till I turned off the car and restarted it and all it did then was go back to the old number. How the heck do I reset this? I am sure this is kind of dumb on my part but I had expected it to change get a new # while I was driving it. Thanks

Did you have the engine on or only the guages? I think if you do it with the engine on, it won't work. With your key in the ON position, (engine not started), press the TRIP button unitl the Oil Life % is visible. Press and hold the reset button for 3 seconds. You'll hear the 'boop' and it will flash to 100%. See if that works.
