With the key in the on but not running position push the gas pedal 3 times and wait for the light to blink and then go off.
Turn ignition On, but do not start engine.
Display OIL LIFE RESET on DIC (Driver Information Center).
Press and hold ENTER button for at least one second. ACKNOWLEDGED will be displayed for three seconds or until the next button is pressed. This will indicate the system has been reset.
Turn ignition Off.
If the Change Oil Soon message comes back on when you start your vehicle, the engine oil life system has not reset. Repeat the procedure.
Other fun facts about the Engine Oil Life System;
Your vehicle has a computer system that lets you know when to change the engine oil and filter. This is based on engine revolutions and engine temperature, and NOT on mileage. Based on driving conditions, the mileage at which an oil change will be indicated can vary considerably. For the oil life system to work properly, you must reset the system every time the oil is changed.
When the system has calculated that oil life has been diminished, it will indicate that an oil change is necessary. A Change Oil Soon message will come on. Change your oil as soon as possible within the next 600 miles (1 000 km). It is possible that, if you are driving under the best conditions, the oil life system may not indicate that an oil change is necessary for over a year. However, your engine oil and filter must be changed at least once a year and at this time the system must be reset.
