How To Reset The Change Engine Oil Light; What To Do With Used Oil - GMC Chevrolet SSR 2003 Owner's Manual

How to Reset the Change Engine Oil Light

The GM Oil Life System calculates when to change
your engine oil and filter based on vehicle use.
Anytime your oil is changed, reset the system so it
can calculate when the next oil change is required.
If a situation occurs where you change your oil prior
to a change engine oil light being turned on, reset
the system.
To reset the change engine oil light, do the following:
1. Press the fuel information button until ENGINE
OIL LIFE appears on the Driver Information
Center (DIC). See DIC Controls and Displays
on page 3-41 for more information.
2. Press and hold the select button. The engine oil
life percentage will return to 100.
3. Turn the key to OFF.
If the change engine oil light comes back on when you
start your vehicle, the engine oil life system has not
reset. Repeat the procedure.

What to Do with Used Oil

Used engine oil contains certain elements that may be
unhealthy for your skin and could even cause cancer.
Don't 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. Instead, recycle it
by taking it to a place that collects used oil. If you have
a problem properly disposing of your used oil, ask
your dealer, a service station or a local recycling center
for help.
