How to Reset the Oil Life on a Chevrolet Trax

Steps from the 2026 Chevrolet Trax owner's manual (Base cluster and uplevel cluster (steps shown for uplevel cluster)).

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%.

Base cluster: show REMAINING OIL LIFE on the DIC, then press and hold l while the Oil Life display is active to set it to 100%.
Reset the system every time the oil is changed.
