Oil life & reset procedures

Engine oil life system reset

Before you start

  • Reset the system whenever the engine oil is changed so that the system can calculate the next engine oil change.

Steps

  1. Display OIL LIFE REMAINING on the DIC.
  2. Press and hold the SET/RESET button on the DIC for more than five seconds. The oil life will change to 100%.
  3. With your foot on the brake pedal, move the shift lever through each gear range, pausing for about three seconds in each range. Then, move the shift lever back to P (Park).
  4. Allow the engine to idle (500 - 800 rpm) for at least one minute. Slowly release the brake pedal.
  5. Keep the engine running and press the Trip/Fuel button or trip odometer reset stem until TRANS TEMP (Transmission Temperature) displays on the Driver Information Center (DIC).
  6. Using the TRANS TEMP reading, determine and perform the appropriate check procedure. If the TRANS TEMP reading is not within the required temperature ranges, allow the vehicle to cool, or operate the vehicle until the appropriate transmission fluid temperature is reached.

You’ll know it worked: The oil life will change to 100%.
