Default Oil Change - Oil Life reset procedure - Help

Um, So I can't remember what the procedure is to reset the Oil Life on the DIC back to 100% - And I can't seem to find it when I search the forums...

Can somebody please tell me what the procedure is again.

Thanks in Advance!

There are 2 ways but this is the easier of the two:

Set your DIC to display Oil Life %
Press RESET button and hold for 5 seconds.

This will set it to 100% and you are done.

You are correct but the engine must be turned OFF when you do this.

Would like to meet the engineer who invented this.

While doing this, you gotta pinch both your earlobes for it to work.
