How to Reset the Oil Life on a Chevrolet T Series
Steps from the 2010 Chevrolet T Series owner's manual (vehicles with the Engine Oil Life System).
- Turn the ignition key to ON/RUN with the engine off.
- Slowly press the accelerator pedal fully to the floor and release it three times within five seconds.
- Check that the change engine oil light goes off, which shows the system is resetting.
- Turn the key to LOCK/OFF.
- Reset the system every time the oil is changed, even if the change engine oil light never came on.
- If the change engine oil light comes back on when the vehicle is started, the system did not reset, so repeat the procedure.
