Yeah so I have got 3 oil changes since I have got my car ( 10k miles) and the oil life monitor is at 4%...

wtf? I noticed this when it said i need to change my oil. Whats up with this?

 

look in your manual and it will tell u how to reset it...

 

you have to reset it after u change the oil

 

key on engine off, pump the gas pedal all the way to the floor, then let it all the way out, repeat 3 times.

 

type of car you have? lt,ss,ss/sc? also, dont take this question the wrong way for real but do you reset your oil life monitor after the oil change. because it does not reset itself. seriously i'm not being a smart @$$ its called human error and we all do it sometimes

 

key on engine off, pump the gas pedal to the floor 3 times.

 

just look in the manual bro it will say it

 

or just read my post. either or. your gonna have to read

 

thats not true for all cobalts, mine doesn't work that way (SS/TC), it resets through the steering wheel controls

 

same here

 

All the Cobalts reset the oil change through the DIC controls...but you can still reset it also by turning the key on, engine off, and pushing the gas pedal to the floor three times in a row. Hard to believe only the SS/TC is different from ALL the other models -- try it when you next change the oil and see if it works on the TC too.

 

 

I had no Idea you just reset it.... wtf is the point of it if you can just reset it whenever lol. I have an 08 ls btw.

 

u have much to learn young noob

 

You are very right... I def. do not know everything. If I did I wouldn't be here.

 

i have an 07 ss.sc and to reset mine i have to hold down the info button and the button under neath that at the same time.. then let go, it should read like "units: english" go thru that menu and youll see "oil life reset" hold it like you would rest the trips and then let go.. tada... it'll say "acknowledge"

 

that's the DIC(digital information system) and is exaclty how I reset mine, but to each their own.


lol only poking fun, and you're right, that's the purpose of the site.

 

Didn't comprehend much in the owner's manual, did we now?

 

If you think the purpose of thise site is to pass around useful information then you have alot to learn too. lulz. I think this place had useful **** for a good whole 2 months after it was made.

and im pretty sure 99% of the newer GM models are KOEO pump gas pedal 3 times. all preference really.

 

hahah to each their own?? thats how its done...

 

The force is strong with this one

 

i've never heard of pumping the gas pedel. i don't even bother with that thing anyway. i keep a log in my glovebox of everything that i do with the car. when i fill up i write the date, miles, gallons. i write whenever i change any filters and oils, along with the date and miles. everything that has anything to do with the car is in that book. so really i have no need to that monitor and i just reset it whenever it get at a low percentage
