You should only reset the oil life indicator on a 2010 Chevrolet Silverado after changing the oil, as this important reminder is there for a reason. Continuing to use old or dirty oil can lead to long-term problems. To reset the oil life, you have two options. First, you can use an OBD-II scan tool with oil life reset function. If you don't have this tool, you can insert your key and turn it to the "RUN/ON" position without starting the engine. Then, press the second button from the top on your info center located next to the steering column (which shows a car symbol) until "OIL LIFE" appears on the display. Finally, press and hold the RESET button on your info center (marked with a checkmark symbol) until the display reads "100 PERCENT.
To reset the oil life on your car, first turn the ignition to the on position without starting the engine. Then, press the gas pedal to the floor three times rapidly. Look for the change oil soon light to flash as confirmation.
