Engine Air Cleaner/Filter - Chevrolet 2010 Tahoe Owner's Manual

On all vehicles, the Engine Oil Life System can be reset
as follows:
1. Turn the ignition to ON/RUN with the engine off
2. Fully press the accelerator pedal slowly three times
within five seconds.
3. Display the OIL LIFE REMAINING on the DIC.
If the display shows 100%, the system is reset.
See DIC Operation and Displays (With DIC
Buttons) on page 4 48 or DIC Operation and
Displays (Without DIC Buttons) on page 4 55.
If the vehicle has a CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON
message and it comes back on when the vehicle is
started and/or the OIL LIFE REMAINING is near 0%,
the Engine Oil Life System has not reset. Repeat the
procedure.
What to Do with Used Oil
Used engine oil contains certain elements that can be
unhealthy for your skin and could even cause cancer.
Do not let used oil stay on your skin for very long. Clean
your skin and nails with soap and water, or a good hand
cleaner. Wash or properly dispose of clothing or rags
containing used engine oil. See the manufacturer's
warnings about the use and disposal of oil products.
Used oil can be a threat to the environment. If you
change your own oil, be sure to drain all the oil from the
filter before disposal. Never dispose of oil by putting it in
the trash, pouring it on the ground, into sewers, or into
streams or bodies of water. Recycle it by taking it to a
place that collects used oil.

Engine Air Cleaner/Filter

See Engine Compartment Overview on page 6 16 for

Maintenance on page 7 3 for more information.
If driving on dusty/dirty conditions, inspect the filter at
each engine oil change.
