if you do not have the steering wheel controls. turn the key to the run position but do not start it, then press the gas pedal either 3 or 5 times in 5 secs and "oil life reset" will flash on you DIC. it has been reset.

if you have the steering wheel controls im not sure (since i dont have them) but it should be in the menu somewhere there

good luck.

Remember, if you dont have the DIC you have to press the pedal to the floor for it to work, and If I remember correctly, its 5 times.

I did that and the oil life reset does come on but it does not flash and it stays on does that sound right?

It is 3 times on my truck and try turning your key to the first click not to the run position, every time I reset mine it takes me a few tries.
