How to Reset the Oil Life on a GMC Sierra 1500
Steps from the 2026 GMC Sierra 1500 owner's manual.
- Bring up the oil life percentage on the Driver Information Center (DIC).
- Press and hold the thumbwheel on the steering wheel for several seconds.
- If the vehicle has no DIC controls, press and hold the trip odometer reset stem instead.
- When the confirmation message appears, select YES.
- Check that the oil life now reads 100%.
- Reset only right after an oil change; the system will not reset itself.
- If the system is reset by accident, change the oil within 5 000 km (3,000 mi) of the last change.
