Change Engine Oil Light
This light is displayed
when your vehicle
needs to be serviced.
If your vehicle has a V8 engine and this light is
flashing, it indicates that the oil level is low.
When this light is on steady, your vehicle needs to
be serviced. SeeScheduled Maintenance
(Gasoline Engine) on page 399for more
information.
Once the engine oil has been changed, the
change engine oil light must be reset. Until it is
reset, the light will stay on for a while each time the
engine is started. For more information on
resetting the system, see “How to Reset the
Engine Oil Life System” underEngine Oil
Life System (Gasoline Engine) on page 300.
Security Light
The light will stay on until the engine starts. If the
light flashes, the Passlock®System has entered
a tamper mode. If the vehicle fails to start,
seePasslock
®on page 119.
If the light comes on continuously while driving
and stays on, there may be a problem with
the Passlock
®System. Your vehicle will not be
protected by Passlock®, and you should see your
GM dealer.

Scheduled Maintenance
(Gasoline Engine)
This maintenance section applies to vehicles with
a gasoline engine. If your vehicle has a diesel
engine, see the maintenance schedule section in
the DURAMAX
®Diesel Engine Supplement.
When the change engine oil light comes on, it
means that service is required for your vehicle.
Have your vehicle serviced as soon as possible
within the next 600 miles (1 000 km). It is possible
that, if you are driving under the best conditions,
the engine oil life system may not indicate
that vehicle service is necessary for over a year.
However, your engine oil and filter must be
changed at least once a year and at this time the
system must be reset. Your GM Goodwrench
®
dealer has GM-trained service technicians who will
perform this work using genuine GM parts and
reset the system.If the engine oil life system is ever reset
accidentally, you must service your vehicle within
3,000 miles (5 000 km) since your last service.
Remember to reset the oil life system whenever
the oil is changed. SeeEngine Oil Life System
(Gasoline Engine) on page 300for information on
the Engine Oil Life System and resetting the
system.
When the change engine oil light appears, certain
services, checks, and inspections are required.
Required services are described in the following
for “MaintenanceI” and “MaintenanceII.”
Generally, it is recommended that your first service
be MaintenanceI, your second service be
MaintenanceII, and that you alternate
MaintenanceIand MaintenanceIIthereafter.
However, in some cases, MaintenanceIImay be
required more often.
