How to Reset the Oil Life on a Cadillac ATS
Steps from the 2019 Cadillac ATS owner's manual.
- Use the DIC controls on the right side of the steering wheel to display REMAINING OIL LIFE.
- Press SEL on the DIC controls and hold it down for a few seconds.
- Check that the CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON message clears and the oil life shows 100%.
- Reset only right after an oil change; resetting by accident means the oil must be changed at 5 000 km (3,000 mi) since the last change.
- A second method: with REMAINING OIL LIFE displayed, fully press and release the accelerator pedal three times within five seconds.
