Quick Oil Life Reset Guide On Chevrolet HHR (2006-2011)

Howdy, Chevy fam! How are you? The Chevrolet HHR is equipped with an oil life monitoring system, and in this post, we’ll show you how to reset it. This is a great feature to give you a general idea of when to change the oil, but this is not always 100% accurate.

It depends on what type of oil you’re putting in the engine. You can probably go beyond what the oil life meter says using synthetic oil or synthetic blend oil. So let’s go ahead, dive straight into this process, and get the car back on the road.

Easy Way To Reset Oil Life On 2006-2011 Chevrolet HHR

Now to reset the engine oil life system is what we’re going to do here. This is going to be on a 2010 Chevrolet HHR here but it will be the same in several different years (2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011).

Gas Pedal Method

  • First, flip the key to the on position without actually starting the vehicle 
  • After that, depress the ACCELERATOR pedal in three times within five seconds and that will reset the counter 
  • Now you can start your vehicle like normal and as you can see it shows oil life has been reset to 100% on the screen

    The first step is to switch on the ignition without starting the engine

  2. Press the INFO and the ⏎ buttons

    After that, you need to press the INFO and the ⏎ buttons on the left steering wheel at the same time, and you will be able to access the customizing options

  3. Find the OIL LIFE RESET screen
