How to Reset the Oil Life on a Chevrolet SS

Steps from the 2017 Chevrolet SS owner's manual.

Show the REMAINING OIL LIFE display on the DIC.
Press and hold SET/CLR on the DIC while the Oil Life display is active.
Check that the oil life changes to 100%.

Reset only right after an oil change, never at other times.
Alternative: with the oil life display showing, fully press and release the accelerator pedal three times within five seconds.
If CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON comes back on at startup, the reset failed; repeat the procedure.
