When to Change Engine Oil (GM Oil Life SystemR) Your vehicle has a computer that lets you know when to change your engine oil. This is based on engine revolutions, and engine temperature and not on mileage. 10,000 miles (16 000 km) since your last oil and filter change. Under severe conditions, the system may come on before 3,000 miles (5 000 km). Never drive your vehicle more than 10,000 miles (16 000 km) or 12 months (whichever occurs first) without an oil change. The system won't detect dust in the oil. So, if you drive in a dusty area, be sure to change your oil and filter every 3,000 miles (5 000 km) or sooner. Remember to reset the CHANGE OIL light whenever the oil is changed. For the Oil Life System to work properly, you must reset the system each time the oil is changed. How to Reset the CHANGE OIL Light After changing the engine oil, the system must be reset. To reset the CHANGE OIL light after an oil change do the following: 1. With the ignition key turned to ON, but the engine off, fully push and release the accelerator pedal slowly three times within five seconds. 2. If the CHANGE OIL light flashes, the system is resetting. 3. Turn the key to OFF after the light has finished flashing, then start the vehicle. If the CHANGE OIL light comes back on, the engine oil life system did not reset. Repeat the procedure. 6-15
