Chevrolet Suburban 2007-2014 Engine Oil Life Reset

Chevrolet Suburban 2007-2014 Engine Oil Life Reset

This extended-length version of the Tahoe is a bit of a dinosaur but not unfriendly. It can tow a heavy trailer and swallow more cargo than most minivans. Interior quality is very good, and there is room for up to nine, but typical versions seat seven. The cabin is quiet, but the low third-row seat is uncomfortable and, inconveniently, doesn't fold into the floor. Steering is vague, and handling is cumbersome. The standard 5.3-liter V8 is merely adequate and returned 14 mpg overall. Four-wheel-drive models have a selectable full-time system. Reliability has been average. A redesign with a more efficient powertrain, and more new safety features, is due in early 2014. - Base on Suburban 2014.

How to Reset the Engine Oil Life System 

Reset the system whenever the engine oil is changed so that the system can calculate the next engine oil change. Always reset the engine oil life to 100% after every oil change. It will not reset itself. To reset the system on most vehicles: 

1. Display the OIL LIFE REMAINING on the DIC. If the vehicle does not have DIC buttons, the vehicle must be in P (Park)

2. Press and hold the SET/RESET button on the DIC, or the trip odometer reset stem if the vehicle does not have DIC buttons, for more than five seconds. The oil life will change to 100%. 

On all vehicles, the Engine Oil Life System can be reset as follows: 

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

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

3. Display the OIL LIFE REMAINING on the DIC. 

If the display shows 100%, the system is reset.  If the vehicle has a CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON message and it comes back on when the vehicle is started and/or the OIL LIFE REMAINING is near 0%, the engine oil life system has not been reset. Repeat the procedure.
