26 In Brief
Driver Information Center (DIC)
when it is necessary to change the
engine oil and filter.
The oil life system should be reset
to 100% only following an oil
change.
Resetting the Oil Life System
Reset the system whenever the
engine oil is changed so that the
system can calculate the next
engine oil change. It will not reset
itself. To reset the system:
Base Level Cluster1. Press the MENU button to show Remaining Oil Life on the
display. This display shows an
estimate of the oil’s remaining
useful life. If 99% is displayed,
that means that 99% of the
current oil life remains.
2. To reset the engine oil life system, press SET/CLR while
the oil life display is active.
After a few seconds, the oil life
will be reset to 100%. Be
careful not to reset the oil life
display accidentally at any time other than after the oil is
changed. It cannot be reset
accurately.
If the
:% CHANGE message in
the DIC comes back on when the
vehicle is started, the engine oil life
system has not reset. Repeat the
procedure.
Uplevel Cluster
1. Turn the ignition on without starting the engine.
2. Press the DIC MENU button on the turn signal lever to enter
the Vehicle Information Menu.
Use the thumbwheel to scroll
through the menu items until
you reach REMAINING
OIL LIFE.
3. Press SET/CLR to reset the oil life at 100%.
4. Turn the ignition off.

(1) Or every two years, whichever
comes first. More frequent
passenger compartment air filter
replacement may be needed if

poor air quality, high dust levels, or environmental allergens.
Passenger compartment air filter
replacement may also be needed if
there is reduced airflow, window
fogging, or odors. Your GM dealer
can help determine when to replace
the filter.
(2)
Visually check all fuel and vapor
lines and hoses for proper
attachment, connection, routing, and
condition.

(3) Or every four years, whichever
comes first. If driving in dusty
conditions, inspect the filter at each
oil change or more often as needed.
(4) Do not directly power wash the
transfer case and/or front/rear axle
output seals. High pressure water
can overcome the seals and
contaminate the fluid. Contaminated
fluid will decrease the life of the
transfer case and/or drive axles and
should be replaced.
(5) Or every five years, whichever
comes first. See Cooling System
0 240.
(6) Or every ten years, whichever
comes first. Inspect for fraying,
excessive cracking, or damage;
replace, if needed.
(7) If equipped with DOT 4 fluid,
replace fluid every three years. If equipped with DOT 3 fluid,
replace fluid every five years in
vehicles with an automatic
transmission and every three years
in vehicles with a manual
transmission.
