Generic answer to "How do I reset the oil change reminder on my late model GM vehicle?"

If your vehicle has a DIC:

-Cycle through display items using DIC buttons (arrow or info)e until oil life remaining% is displayed.

-Press Reset button. If that does nothing, press and hold Reset button for several seconds.

Trucks with menu buttons on steering wheel:

-The buttons on the steering wheel and message displayed on instrument panel should be treated as a DIC. Proceed as above.

Aurora with a little door covering buttons to tell you about fuel usage:

-This is the DIC.

Some vehicles have DIC integrated with Radio or Climate Control controls.

With no DIC:

-Turn ignition lock to off position.

-Verify that door is closed.

-Turn ignition to On/Run position

-Move accelerator pedal from closed throttle to WOT and back to closed three times within five seconds.

-Turn key to off position.

Some N-body cars:

-Locate red "Reset" or "Oil R" inside fuse box located at either left or right end of dashboard visible only with front doors open.

-Turn ignition to On/Run and wait a few seconds.

-Press "Reset" button. Note "Change Oil" light begins flashing. If "Low Tire" light flashes instead, press "Reset" button a second time-a.

-Press and hold "Reset" button for 5 to 10 seconds. You may hear three or five chimes or beeps as confirmation of reset and light should go dark.

Early Saturn with red Reset button in underhood fuse box:

-Turn ignition key to on.

-Press and hold "Reset" button for about 7 seconds.

-Look at dash for blinking oil change reminder lamp.

Some 1990s-ish GM FWD full size cars:

-Look for Reset button or Oil Reset button unside glove box.

-Turn ignition on.

-Press and hold button for about five seconds.

Cadillac without DIC or button in glove box:

-You will need to press and hold 2 buttons on the climate control for about 10 seconds but I can't remember (after) so many years which two buttons they are. Check the manual.
