How to Reset the Oil Life on a Buick Encore
Steps from the 2022 Buick Encore owner's manual.
- Press the MENU button until Remaining Oil Life shows on the display.
- Check that the oil life display is active before you reset it.
- Press the SET/CLR button while the oil life display is showing.
- Wait a few seconds until a single chime sounds and the oil life shows 100%.
- Reset only right after an oil change, since an accidental reset cannot be corrected accurately.
- If CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON comes back on at startup, the reset did not work; repeat the procedure.
