Oil change/setting the DIC
I'm about to do a oil change and saw that once the oil change is finished you have to set the DIC. I'm not familiar with this part of the oil change. Anybody got instructions on how to do it or a video? Thanks.

5-26 Instruments and Controls
Vehicle Information Menu Items Press the MENU button on the turn signal lever until Vehicle Information Menu is displayed. Use the thumbwheel to scroll through the following menu items: . Unit . Tire Pressure . Remaining Oil Life . Coolant Temp . Battery Voltage . Speed Warning Unit Move the thumbwheel up or down to switch between US or Metric when the Unit display is active. Press SET to confirm the setting. This will change the displays on the cluster and DIC to either English (US) or metric measurements. Tire Pressure The display will show a vehicle with the approximate pressures of all four tires. Tire pressure is displayed in either kilopascal (kPa) or in pounds per square inch (psi). See Tire Pressure Monitor System on page 10‑55 and Tire Pressure Monitor Operation on page 10‑57 for more information. Remaining Oil Life This display shows an estimate of the oil's remaining useful life. If REMAINING OIL LIFE 99% is displayed, that means 99% of the current oil life remains. When the remaining oil life is low, the CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON message will appear on the display. See Engine Oil Messages on page 5‑34. The oil should be changed as soon as possible. See Engine Oil on page 10‑10. In addition to the engine oil life system monitoring the oil life, additional maintenance is recommended in the Maintenance Schedule in this manual. See Maintenance Schedule on page 11‑3 for more information. Remember, the Oil Life display must be reset after each oil change. It will not reset itself. Also, be careful not to reset the Oil Life display accidentally at any time other than when the oil has just been changed. It cannot be reset accurately until the next oil change. To reset the engine oil life system press the SET button while the Oil Life display is active. See Engine Oil Life System on page 10‑13. Coolant Temperature This display shows the temperature of the engine cooling system fluid in either degrees Celsius (°C) or degrees Fahrenheit (°F). Battery Voltage This display, available on some vehicles, shows the current battery voltage. If the voltage is in the normal range, the value will display.

Forget the owners manual all you have to do is hit the reset button on your left control arm by the steering wheel. I've been doing it for two years now.

If your taking it to a dealer they will reset it for you (or should at least). If youre changing your own oil or going to a non-dealer location. Then, yes you have to go the the oil life monitor (OLM) screen on your DIC and press/hold the reset button for a few seconds until it clears. Should be it.

Or turn the key on 1 click (dont start), put the gas pedal to the floor 3 times in a row. That resets it also.
