How do you reset oil maintenance light after change 2007 Corvette?

The 2007 Corvette doesn't have a single "oil maintenance" light in the way some newer cars do. Instead, it uses the DIC (Driver Information Center) to track oil life and display a message when an oil change is due. There's no single button to reset it. The reset procedure depends slightly on the specific DIC interface in your car. However, the general process is similar:

Method 1 (Most Common):

1. Turn the ignition to the "ON" position (without starting the engine).

2. Press and hold the "SET/RESET" button on your steering wheel. This button is usually used to adjust various DIC settings.

3. While holding the "SET/RESET" button, press the "OK" or similar button. The location and appearance of this button may vary slightly depending on your Corvette's infotainment system. This often involves the button on your steering wheel that would typically cycle through menus on the DIC.

4. Continue holding both buttons until the oil life indicator resets to 100% or a similar indication. The message indicating oil change is due should disappear from your DIC.

Method 2 (If Method 1 Fails):

Some 2007 Corvettes might require a slightly different approach. Try this if the first method doesn't work:

1. Turn the ignition to the "ON" position (without starting the engine).

2. Repeatedly press the "SET/RESET" button to navigate to the oil life indicator in the DIC. You'll be cycling through various messages on your information display. Look for one related to oil life or oil change.

3. Once the oil life message is displayed, press and hold the "SET/RESET" button until the oil life resets.

Important Considerations:

* Consult your owner's manual: Your owner's manual will have the most accurate and detailed instructions specific to your vehicle's DIC. This is the best place to find the precise steps.

* Multiple button presses: Sometimes you might need to cycle through menus several times before you reach the oil life display.

* If all else fails: If you are still unable to reset the indicator, consult a Chevrolet dealership or a qualified mechanic.

Remember to always follow the recommended oil change intervals specified in your owner's manual, regardless of what the DIC indicates. The DIC is a guide, but regular maintenance is crucial for your Corvette's longevity.
