How to Reset the Oil Life on a Chevrolet Colorado

Steps from the 2026 Chevrolet Colorado owner's manual.

Place the vehicle in P (Park).
On the infotainment home screen, select Vehicle Status > Maintenance > Oil Life > Reset.
Follow the menu and select Reset on the display screen.
Select Reset again to confirm; the percentage changes to 100%.

Reset only right after the oil has been changed; it will not reset itself.
The reset worked when the CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON message is off; if it returns at startup, repeat the procedure.
