How to Reset the Oil Life on a GMC Sierra 1500 Limited
Steps from the 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 Limited owner's manual.
- Display the oil life percentage on the Driver Information Center (DIC).
- Press and hold the thumbwheel on the steering wheel for several seconds, or the trip odometer reset stem if the vehicle has no DIC controls.
- When the confirmation message appears, select YES.
- Check that the oil life changes to 100%.
- Reset only right after the oil has been changed; the system does not reset itself.
- Alternative: with oil life displayed, fully press the accelerator pedal slowly three times within five seconds; 100% means it is reset.
- If CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON returns at start-up or oil life is near 0%, the reset failed; repeat the procedure.
