Reset Guide: Chevrolet Colorado Oil Change Light (2004-2022)
Last Updated on January 22, 2022 by Christ
Hello and welcome to the day. Start the day off right with a bang! Today we’re working on Chevrolet Colorado, and we want to reset the oil change light on this car. We just did an oil change, and the light still stays on, so it needs to be reset. So I think this process is from 2004 to maybe 2022.
By the way, I’ve changed the engine oil with the full synthetic oil, and it’s a way that you can do it by saving some money. Not only does it save you money, but it saves you time because this oil is suitable for a year or 15,000 miles. So let’s dive right in.

After you’ve changed the oil, it’s essential to reset the system. We will be using the buttons on the left stalk, the SET/CLR button, the scroller and the MENU button. So here’s how I did it.

Next, you want to scroll up or down is going to be this right here on the same turn signal lever and you’ll find the OIL LIFE
- Press the SET/CLR button
After that, want to press the SET/CLR button on the end of the stalk
- Select YES
From there, you’ll go up to YES and press that SET/CLR button again and it’ll put it back to a hundred percent
With Middle Level Screen
- Then we’re going to press the left arrow here to get into the main menu
- Next, we’re going to go up to INFO and hit ✓ button to select it
- From this menu, we’re going to scroll down until we see OIL LIFE
- Now we’re going to press and hold this ✓ check mark button and there you go so now we’re back to 100%
With Up Level Screen
- To begin, turn the ignition switch to the on position, but we won’t be starting the car
- After then, use the directional pad to go right or left until you reach the i icon
- To see what it says, scroll down or up and you’ll see OIL LIFE
- To reset it you simply press the ✓ check button until you see 100%
