    THESE GUYS ARE RIGHT. BUT IT IS ACCORDING TO WHERE THE LIGHT IS. SOME HAVE AN ACTUALL LIGHT THAT LOOKS LIKE AN OIL LAMP. OTHERS HAVE A DIGITAL READING ACROSS WHERE THE MILEAGE IS SHOWN. OTHERS SHOW AND ENGINE BLOCK. EITHER WAY CUT THE KEY ON BUT DO NOT START. PUMP THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR 3 TIMES WITHIN 5 SECONDS. WAIT!!! IF YOU HAVE THE ENGINE BLOCK OR THE OIL LAMP SYMBOL IT WILL START BLINKING WHEN IT IS RESET AND YOU CAN CUT THE KEY OFF AND START THE VEHICLE AND THE LIGHT SHOULD GO OFF. IF YOU HAVE THE DIGITAL ONE IT WILL READ OIL LIFE RESET. THEN YOU CAN CUT THE KEY OFF AND START THE ENGINE. EITHER WAY IT SHOULD ONLY TAKE A FEW SECONDS TO DETERMINE WHETHER IT IS RESET. SOMETIMES YOU DO HAVE TO DO THIS MORE THAN ONE TIME.

    I have an 03 GMC and had the same problem. I turned the key to accessory, pumped the Gas pedal 3 times and it cleared the message. This is so weird to have to do this with all the technology in the world.

    On the Chevy the procedure is similar. Read the manual. I know the manual for my 2004 trailblazer had the reset procedure in 3 different places...before it was stolen.
