Chevrolet Colorado 2008 Oil Life Reset Guide

Chevrolet Colorado 2008 Oil Life Reset Guide
Since the Colorado and its twin, the GMC Canyon, were introduced, competitors have surpassed them in just about every category. The unrefined five-cylinder engine lacks punch and doesn't offer a fuel-economy advantage over competing V6s. The 3.5-liter grew to 3.7 liters in 2007. It had to work hard to power the crew cab we tested. A 5.3-liter V8 is optional. Handling is sound but unexceptional. The ride is unsettled, and the body constantly quivers. The huge 48-foot turning circle makes parking a chore.

How to Reset the Engine Oil Life System 
The Engine Oil Life System calculates when to change the engine oil and filter based on vehicle use. Whenever the oil is changed, reset the system so it can calculate when the next oil change is required. If a situation occurs where you change the oil prior to a CHANGE OIL message being turned on, reset the system.

To reset the Engine Oil Life system: 

1. With the engine off, turn the ignition to ON/RUN.

2. Press and release the stem in the lower center of the instrument cluster until the OIL LIFE message is displayed.

3. Once the alternating OIL LIFE and RESET messages appear, press and hold the stem until several beeps sound. This confirms that the oil life system has been reset.

4. Turn the key to LOCK/OFF.

If the CHANGE OIL message comes back on when you start your vehicle, the engine oil life system has not reset. Repeat the procedure
