change oil soon????
does anyone know why my 05' SS keeps telling me to "change oil soon" when i just changed it 500mi ago?

its a re-occuring sensor.. its on a timer.. doesnt actually sense dirty oil, however, that would be innovative, lol.
Im not sure about the 05's but there is a computer reset... in the 01's you would turn the key to the on position and press the gas 4x and than it would reset the sensors... but i beleive that is all done through your stock radio now... check your owners manual.. but this sensor doesnt mean anything, so dont worry :) |
you have to reset the oil life sytem or what ever GM calls it.
turn the key on and mash the gas petal to the floor three times the oil light should flash and reset. better instructions are in the manual. I believe my wifes o5 is still reset through the gas pedal, I can't remeber now, but I'm sure I didn't do it throu the F.M. |
:judge: yes what they said. just turn your key to on but not start, press the pedal atleast 4 times.
|
you can reset form the wheel, hold the reset button for a sec or two and it will do the same as hitting the gas.

Thanks alot guys that stupid messege is starting to piss me off!

My 02 is get in close door, turn ignition to ACC, pump gas to the floor 3 times, oil light flashes 5 sec than it's reset. i set my trip odm every time I change my oil so it reminds me to reset the sys

I really think that GM needs to start making the manuals in audio format or make it so they can be played on a psp or something. Nobody reads anymore......

They do the same thing with the rearview mirror. I think they should give the instructions for the basic controls, and then say, if you you have onstar or xm, these features will act differently. Just my .02 Mike |

In an 03, you tab through to the oil HUD and press and hold the little arrow key. That resets it to 100%. I think it's straight mileage. |
