If you've already performed an oil change on your 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 (don't forget the filter), but the reminder light is still on, here's how to reset it. Use the buttons on the lower spokes of your steering wheel. Turn the ignition on without starting the engine. Press the FUEL button until you see the OIL LIFE displayed on the instrument cluster. Once that appears, hold down the ENTER button. You'll notice the words "Change Engine Oil" flashing, followed by the "Oil Life Reset" message for about 15-20 seconds. Once the Engine Oil Life reads 100%, you're all set. You can turn off the ignition and continue with your day, knowing you won't have to repeat this process for another 3,000 miles.
To clear the oil life reminder or maintenance alert in your 2012 Chevy Silverado 1500 truck, simply follow these steps: Turn the key to the "on" position, press the gas pedal down three times gradually, then start your vehicle. After that, the oil light should show that it has been reset.
Push the small button on the dashboard until you locate the engine oil indicator, hold down the button until it displays 100%, then let go.
