GM OIL LIFE SYSTEM - RESETTING
The engine oil life monitor will indicate when to change the engine oil - usually between 5 000 km (3,000 miles) and 16 000 km (10,000 miles) since the last oil change. Under severe conditions, the "CHANGE OIL SOON" light may be displayed before 5 000 km (3,000 miles). The vehicle must not be driven more than 16 000 km (10,000 miles) or 12 months without an oil change.

Reset the oil life monitor when the oil has been changed, use the following procedure:

  1. Turn the ignition key to the RUN position.
  2. Fully push and release the accelerator pedal 3 times within 5 seconds.
  3. If the Change Oil Soon light flashes, the system is resetting.
  4. Start the vehicle.
  5. The oil life will change to 100%.
  6. If the Change Oil Soon light comes back on, the system has not reset. Repeat the procedure.

On my dash of my 2012 sonic LS where it shows milage etc....starting my car it says code 82 and i have to hit trip milage reset to get all the information showing again
Code 82 is change oil soon. If you have just changed the oil or go have it changed somewhere then you can clear it, but DO NOT simply clear it WITHOUT changing your oil and filter! Never neglect regular oil changes. $20 isn't going to break the bank. It will go a long way to ensure your engine will operate for as many years as possible. To clear the change oil code turn your car on, but leave it in park. Push the menu button until you see oil life in your DIC. Push and hold the reset button.

How do i reset the oil change light? 99 grand am se 6cyl
That light should reset itself after you changed the oil .If you have changed the oil and it doesn't reset ,try disconnecting the batter for about 5 mins. check your milage, see how many miles you normally drive before that light normally comes on. That is so, if that light dosen't come on ,you will know its time to change the oil. If that light doesn't come on at the right amount of miles,have your oil changed at the dealer and ask them to check the oil change warning light .If they find nothing wrong ,no charge . This warning light is fairly new ,in the old days people just guessed ,its about time to change the oil !

I have a 2004 FX45 and the oil change light is on. Since I just changed the oil and the oil level is good (just checked) - how do I reset the oil change due light?
The dealer knows the sequence of buttons to push to reset the indicator. It's just a milage counter it doesn't involve any sensors monitoring the oil, it's condition or your oil pressure.

Take it to the dealer, takes about 2 minutes.

Recently the Maintenance Required light comes on and blinks for a couple of minutes, then goes off. We put new brakes on the front and we changed the oil and I thought the light would stop, but it's still...
the car is telling you that the oil needs to be changed/ the milage has reached the limit for needing to be changed. even if you have changed the oil it will still warn you after 7500 miles to change the oil. To make the light go off, press and hold the knob the resets your milage for 15 secs then turn the key to the on position(dont start the car) then continue to hold the knob in for about 30 secs, release, turn the car off, wait 5 secs, turn car to on position, then back off the start the car it should clear the maintence light.

How to reset, after changing the oil - to get it off the display
Turn the key to the on position, ( this is when all of the dash lights are on) press on the gas petal three times, ( slowly but within a second of each pressing ) then it should be reset. If you have the read out where the milage is normaly displayed, then where it was saying "change oil soon" will display "oil life reset" after you've done this.
