Chevrolet Colorado 2016 Change Oil Life Reset

Chevrolet Colorado 2016 Change Oil Life Reset

GM's small pickups, the Colorado and its GMC Canyon twin, are more maneuverable than full-sized trucks and better equipped than their Nissan and Toyota competitors. Buyers can choose a 200-hp four-cylinder or a 305-hp V6, both backed by a standard six-speed automatic. The ride is rather choppy, as befitting a pickup, but handling is responsive. Rear- and four-wheel-drive versions are available, as are extended and crew-cab body styles. Inside are the latest electronics, including the MyLink audio system. These are the first small trucks to offer forward-collision and lane-departure warnings, and a backup camera is standard. A 181-hp four-cylinder diesel is new.

Engine Oil Life System 
The engine oil life system calculates engine oil life based on vehicle use and, on most vehicles, displays a Driver Information Center (DIC) message when it is necessary to change the engine oil and filter. The oil life system should be reset to 100% only following an oil change. Resetting the Oil Life System To reset the engine oil life system: 

1. Display the OIL LIFE REMAINING on the Driver Information System (DIC).

2. Press and hold SET/CLR for several seconds. The oil life will change to 100%.

The oil life system can also be reset as follows: 

1. Turn the ignition to ON/RUN with the engine off.
2. Display OIL LIFE REMAINING on the DIC.
3. Fully press the accelerator pedal slowly three times within five seconds. If the display shows 100%, the system is reset.
