Resetting Oil Life Filter Display

[Kodiak450]

My change engine oil message kept showing up everytime I put the key in the ignition and started up the truck, even though my oil doesn't need to be changed and is clean. I had my oil changed not long ago and was stumped why the message kept coming on. So today I learned how to reset the oil life filter by simply putting key in the ignition and pushing down the gas pedal 3 times about 1 second a peice in time frame. Some of you may have known of this technique, some not. So for those of you who don't, you now know how to do it.

Every one here should have at least already known how to do simple stuff like that. The only people I've ever had to tell how to do that was my Grandma and granddad. Cause granddad was used to carbed cars and changing his oil when it was time, not by any light on the dash. And grandma, she's just a woman.

+1. Yeah, it's in the book. Easier to do if the truck has a DIC; just hold the button down for a few seconds.

None of that stuff is simple, it is all hidden, complicated techniques to remember. Our BMW for instance has multiple reset tasks with key position to activate, reset, ect. Sticking the key in the ignition and having it on a certain number of turns while in ignition and pressing certain buttons at a certain number of intervales. I already forgot how to program the remote for our Blazer cause it needs to be performed while in "N" and remote has to have certain buttons pushed after a certain time lapse. Maybe for a mechanic it is something to remember easily, cause that is what they need to know to troubleshoot codes ect.

A BMW MIGHT be complicated, but a chevy is simple. That's why we buy em'.

Dale told you, just pull up your oil life on you steering wheel, then hold down the enter botton( on my TB its the bottom right button) until it resets. At least thats how a TB works. Is it the same for the big boys? My 93 burb only tells me when something bad is about to happen,LOL< by then its too late!

Yep, that's it.

I don't have that option with this 2500HD, the 06 Duramax I had..Had the controls on the steering wheel to go through the DIC.

 

Simple would be not to depress a brake pedal or pump a gas pedal X amount of times while having the key turned in an affixed position. Simple would be to have a controller interface where one can go through options and access areas that are resetable. Though these far from simple tasks will be a thing of the past, as more and more vehicles are starting to adopt an onboard computer which control climate, media applications, and so on.

I don't know what to tell you if you think pumping the pedal 3 times within fives seconds isn't simple. It couldn't be any simpler, pumping the pedal is a lot more simple than scrolling through options then finding the right one. If you can't pump a gas pedal 3 times, I hate to tell you, but you don't need to be driving anyway.

I prefer scrolling. Don't really care for having to memorize putting the vehicle in N, with the key turned to a certain position for one programming task or resetting task, then having to memorize a total different task that requires some other hidden task to program or reset something else. The defination of simple to me is having access like on a notebook where everything is visible and accessed via a keyboard. Maybe you just have issues with computers and don't understand them and mock at what you can't comprehend and/or understand them. There is alot of eldery that have the very same issues. Maybe you shouldn't be using a computer.

You don't have to put the truck in neutral, all you have to do is turn they on, but don't crank and then press gas three times within five seconds. I'm a computer programmer, I make these type of programs for a living. I've also built many computers and robots and even have a video of mario theme song played on stepper motors controlled by an arduino control system. Can you convert midi tones from piezo to electrical impulses for the arduino to read? All I was saying is pressing a gas peddle is a lot less time consuming and way more simple than flipping through the DIC(driver information center) to find the option to reset it and not to mention the hard task of turning the key to the on position you keep mentioning that you also have to do to use the computer to reset it.

To program the remote you need to have the vehicle in N and do some other tasks with it. See I already forgot how to do it! None of this information was provided with either of my chevy's and only found out about it through the internet. It's like some James Bond crap to me. Push this, while pumping that, and have this button depressed while holding down the cigarette lighter. It's a crude form of having to access something to reset.

Hmm, I had an '01 Olds Intrigue and the oil reset process was key on, engine not running, and press gas pedal three times. Seemed pretty easy for an old guy like me to remember. I still remember it and haven't had to do it for at least four years now.

Once computers become standard in most models, I can visualize alot of cool , easy, stuff that we the owners will be able to do. It's only a matter of time before your vehicle is connected to the WWW and downloadable programs to tune your ride be available by the masses. It's not that far away either.
