On the steering wheel you have the button for the driver information center (info button) . Press that button until you come to "oil life %" and AT THE SAME TIME, hold down the info button & the little arrow button & the next message should be "oil life reset". When you see this message, release the both buttons and press the "arrow" button for one second. You should get a "ACKNOWLEDGED" message. If not it did not reset and you have to do it again.
If you have problems getting the oil life system to reset with the previous way mentioned then try turning the key to ON and press the gas pedal three times.
GM doesn't give you the step to hold both buttons down
at the same time to get the OIL LIFE RESET message. They give you step 1 - to go to the oil life reset, then they say hit enter. They failed to include the following instruction
1a. hold down the info buttom and the enter button at the same time....
until you see OIL LIFE RESET
(then continue to step 2 in your manual)
The DIC will confirm you have reset after doing step 2
