How do i change my 2008 impala oil life indicator on dash? After I changed the oil it still says "change oil soon". I found info that said to put key on position without starting it, press gas three times within 5 seconds, light should flash, then turn key to off position. Finally turn car on, but this didn't work. Please help.[]

 

As stated in your owners manual:





How to Reset the Engine Oil Life System
The Engine Oil Life System calculates when to change the engine oil and filter based on vehicle use. Whenever the oil is changed, reset the system so it can calculate when the next oil change is required. If a situation occurs where the oil is changed prior to a CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON message being turned on, reset the system.
Always reset the engine oil life to 100% after every oil change. It will not reset itself. To reset the Engine Oil Life System:
[ol]Display the OIL LIFE REMAINING on the DIC.
Press and hold the SET/RESET button on the DIC for more than five seconds. The oil life will change to 100%. [/ol]
If the CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON message comes back on when the vehicle is started, the Engine Oil Life System has not reset. Repeat the procedure.

 

thats the way to do it!!!
