Oil Life Meter won't reset
Changed the oil today and when i went to reset the oil life meter it wouldnt change to 100% It just did nothing. And before anyone asks if i hitting the right button i am. You go to oil life and then hold the arrow looking button down until it resets. I dont know why its doing this i have reseted it before in the past and it worked, just not working now for me. Has this happenend to anyone else? Oh and by the way the oil life meter reads 53% right now, so i was wondering does it have to be lower than 50% to reset?

They changed it on our cars, and maybe some others. I tried holding down the gas pedal three times when i did my first changed my oil. Wouldn't work like it did on my other balts. Pulled out the owners manual. Turn the key to start, but don't start it. Then hold down the Arrow button and the info button, i beleive. It'll flash, then cycle through your options. Once you come to the oil life option, either hold the reset button or the arrown button. dun remember.

some of the newer gm cars the pedal reset won't work. mostly in cars that have our steering wheel controls but I recently did a 09 silverado and you have to use the trip reset to do it. They never keep stuff simple.

Read the manual it tells you everything on how to reset and the gas pedel 3 times doesn't work on our cars anymore they changed it
You have to go to where your oil reading % is then hold the the info button down for I believe 5 secs and then it resets or something
Just read manual
