Chevrolet Equinox 2005-2017 Oil Reset Guide

Chevrolet Equinox 2005-2017 Oil Reset Guide

The Equinox and its twin, the GMC Terrain, straddle the small and midsized SUV categories. They have a taut, yet supple and controlled, ride with responsive and secure handling. But both the 3.6-liter V6 and the more fuel-efficient four-cylinder feel sluggish. The transmission blunts the performance of the V6, and fuel economy is mediocre. The 2016 models got a smattering of cosmetic updates, and the availability of advanced safety features, such as blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and forward-collision and lane-departure warning. A rearview camera is standard.

How to Reset the Engine Oil Life System 

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

1. Turn the ignition key to RUN with the engine off. 

2. Fully press and release the accelerator pedal three times within five seconds

The change engine oil light will flash while the system is resetting. 

3. Turn the key to LOCK

If the change engine oil light comes back on and stays on when you start your vehicle, the engine oil life system has not reset. Repeat the procedure.
