Chevrolet Malibu 2010 Engine Oil Life Reset

Chevrolet Malibu 2010 Engine Oil Life Reset

The Malibu is very competitive in its class. Two engines are offered: a 169-hp four-cylinder and a 252-hp V6. The car is quiet, rides well, and has responsive and secure handling. We found the LTZ tauter, but without any compromise in ride comfort. The V6 is quick and refined. With the optional six-speed automatic, the four-cylinder gets 25 mpg. A mild-hybrid version of the four-cylinder engine is only available in fleet sales. ESC is standard across the line. The interior is roomy and mostly well put together. IIHS crash-test results are good.

Engine Oil Life System 

The engine oil life system calculates engine oil life based on vehicle use and displays a 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 

1. Turn the ignition to ON/RUN, with the engine off.

 2. Press and hold the DIC INFO and reset buttons, on the left side of the steering wheel, at the same time to enter the personalization menu. The OIL LIFE RESET message displays. 

3. Press and hold the reset button until the DIC display shows ACKNOWLEDGED. 

4. Turn the key to LOCK/OFF.
