How to
Reset
the CHANGE ENGINE
OIL
Message
The GM Oil Life SystemTM calculates when to change
your engine oil and filter based on vehicle use. Anytime
your oil is changed, reset the system
so
it can
calculate when the next oil change is required.
If
a
situation occurs where you can change your oil prior to
a CHANGE ENGINE
OIL
message being turned on,
reset the system.
To reset the CHANGE ENGINE OIL message do the
following:
1.
Turn the ignition key to RUN with the engine
off.
2.
Fully press and release the accelerator pedal three
times within five seconds.
If the CHANGE ENGINE OIL message flashes for five
seconds, the system is reset.
What
to
Do
with
Used
Oil
Used engine oil contains certain elements that may be
unhealthy for your skin and could even cause cancer.
Don’t let used oil stay on your skin for very long. Clean
your skin and nails with soap and water, or a good
hand cleaner. Wash or properly dispose
of
clothing or
rags containing used engine oil. See the manufacturer’s
warnings about the use and disposal of oil products.
Used oil can be a threat to the environment.
If
you
change your own oil, be sure to drain all the oil from the
filter before disposal. Never dispose of oil by putting it
in the trash, pouring it on the ground, into sewers, or into
streams or bodies of water. Instead, recycle it by
taking it to a place that collects used oil.
If
you have a
problem properly disposing of your used oil, ask
your dealer,
a
service station or
a
local recycling center
for help.
