How to Reset the Oil Life on a Chevrolet Kodiak

Steps from the 2010 Chevrolet Kodiak owner's manual (Gasoline engine (a separate procedure with a 5-second window applies to DURAMAX/Isuzu diesel engines)).

Turn the ignition key to ON/RUN with the engine off.
Fully press and release the accelerator pedal slowly three times within 10 seconds.
Watch the change engine oil light; if it flashes for five seconds, the system is resetting.
Turn the key to OFF.

Reset the system every time the oil is changed, even if the light was not on yet.
If the change engine oil light comes back on when the vehicle is started, the system has not reset; repeat the procedure.
For DURAMAX/Isuzu diesel engines, press the pedal three times within five seconds; the light turning off shows the reset.
