Method 1: Using the DIC (Driver Information Center)
This is the most common method. You'll typically use buttons on your steering wheel or a stalk near the steering column. The exact sequence varies greatly by year and model. Look for buttons labeled "Info," "Setup," "Menu," or similar. You'll likely need to navigate through menus to find an "Oil Life" or "Maintenance" section. Once there, you'll find an option to reset the oil life percentage or the oil change indicator. The owner's manual is crucial here. It will have the precise instructions for your specific truck's DIC.
Method 2: Using the OnStar System (if equipped)
Some newer Chevy trucks have OnStar. If your truck is equipped with this system, it might have the capability to reset the oil life reminder through the OnStar interface. Contact OnStar directly or check their app for this function.
Where to Find the Information:
* Your Owner's Manual: This is the most reliable source. The manual will have a specific section detailing how to reset your oil life indicator.
* Chevy's Website: Chevy's website may have owner's manuals available for download if you don't have a physical copy. Search for your specific year and model.
* YouTube: Searching YouTube for "[Your Chevy Truck Year and Model] oil life reset" will often yield helpful videos demonstrating the process.
Important Note: *Always* refer to your owner's manual for the correct procedure. Incorrectly resetting the oil life monitor might not accurately reflect your vehicle's needs and could lead to potential engine damage. Always change your oil according to the recommended interval, regardless of what the indicator says.
