To reset the oil life indicator on a 2016 Cadillac SRX after an oil change, follow these steps. Start by turning the ignition to the run position (just before starting the engine). Use the controls on the right side of the steering wheel to show the remaining oil life on the display. Press the Selection (SEL) button on the controls. Press and hold SEL for a few seconds to reset the oil life to 100%. Then, turn off the ignition and start the engine to confirm the indicator has been reset. Alternatively, you can reset the oil life by quickly pressing the gas pedal three times within five seconds instead of using the controls. The Cadillac Oil Life Monitor (OLM) system is not just a basic oil quality sensor but rather a sophisticated software-driven device that considers various engine operating conditions to determine when an oil change is needed.
To reset the oil life indicator on a 2016 Cadillac SRX, start by pressing the display button until the screen changes to show the odometer. Next, switch off the power, then turn it back on while simultaneously pressing the reset button for the trip meter. This action will reset the oil life indicator.
I've attempted all possible solutions, but none have proven effective. 😞
here is a paraphrased version:
While the car was running, I scrolled to the oil life option by moving the selection to the right and then upward until it appeared. I pressed and held the select button for about 10 seconds to reset it. I trust this information is useful to you!
I had to begin my car engine by pressing the start/stop button. I navigated to the right and used the arrow keys to scroll up to check the oil life. To reset it to 100%, I had to hold down the select button for 10 seconds. I hope this explanation is useful!
