How to Reset the Oil Life on a Buick Verano

Steps from the 2017 Buick Verano owner's manual.

Turn the ignition to ON/RUN with the engine off.
Press the DIC MENU button on the turn signal lever to enter the Vehicle Information Menu.
Use the thumbwheel to scroll to REMAINING OIL LIFE.
Press the SET/CLR button to reset the oil life to 100%.
Turn the ignition to LOCK/OFF.

Reset only right after an oil change; resetting at other times makes the system inaccurate.
The reset worked when CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON is off and REMAINING OIL LIFE 100% shows.
If CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON returns at startup, repeat the procedure.
