Here's how to typically reset the oil change reminder on a 2010 Cadillac SRX:
1. Turn the ignition to the "ON" position (without starting the engine).
2. Locate the "SETTINGS" or similar menu in your DIC. This is usually accessed through buttons on your steering wheel. The exact buttons and menu navigation might vary slightly depending on your specific SRX trim level.
3. Navigate through the DIC menus until you find the "Oil Life System" or "Oil Life Reset" option. You may need to scroll through several submenus. The wording might be slightly different.
4. Once you locate the appropriate option, follow the on-screen prompts. This may involve pressing and holding a button, or a sequence of button presses. The owner's manual is the best guide here.
Important Considerations:
* Consult your Owner's Manual: The most reliable instructions are in your owner's manual. The exact procedure may differ slightly depending on the options package of your vehicle.
* Oil Change is Crucial: Resetting the oil life reminder doesn't mean you've actually changed your oil. Always change your oil according to the recommended intervals specified in your owner's manual (usually mileage or time-based). Ignoring oil changes can severely damage your engine.
* No "100%" Reset: Remember, you're resetting the *reminder*, not the oil life calculation itself. The system will continue to monitor oil life and will display a new percentage or mileage-based reminder after the oil change.
If you can't find the option in the DIC menus, it's possible your SRX might require a dealership visit or specialized scan tool to properly reset the oil life monitor.
