So.. Wifey has driven her lil 2011 Aveo for a yr now and the oil light came on for its scheduled oil change. So I looked at the little manual to see how to reset the system after I changed the oil.. and nothing.. no turn on the ignition and press the pedal 5x in succession like in my t/blazer. So.. is there an incar method or do I have to go buy a new scan tool so I dont have to get it reset at the stealership..?????
this should work Attachment 5201
its only 3x in the aveo... then off. like posted.
The last time I needed to do this routine, it required several attempts before the reminder light turned off.Quote:

My Suburban is the same way. What a pain in the a@#!
More "idiots" blew their engines from not changing the oil. :)Quote:

So now the rest of us get to deal with nagging indicators to protect the auto makers from potential litigation.Quote:

Thanks Charlie and Rabbit got it noted.. sneaky them at the factory not 'letting on' such important info.. :D Prefers doin me own oil and fluids as one never knows what the stealer is doing behind his closed door :read::read:
What moron doesnt change his oil? Is that the same guy who changes out his summer air in his tires and puts in the winter air when December arrives?
believe it or not there is 1 case in europe where a guy bought a brand new audi and drove it 140,000km without an oil change.the engine was still good but was so full of sludge that it had to be completely torn down,cleaned and reassembled.they replaced timing belt/water pump and valve cover and vvt gear while they had it apart.Quote:

Funny I must be changing my oil to often or my light does not work.
error occurs on board a number of kilometers, depending on how it is set in the factory, mine is at 15000 km
In our 2009 Silverado, Resetting the Change Oil Soon Reminder in the DIC is SUPER Easy after I installed the DIC Upgrade! I had to change my oil not too long ago, and it took 2 tries before the Oil Change Light would go out!
This did work after a few tries!!! Thanx soooooo much guys! I was able to change my oil and filter all on my own in my 2011 Aveo5, where as I was used to doing on my old caravan!
