Need some help please

I have a 2006 uplander which just ran out of warranty. I did my first oil change at home. I need to get rid/reset the "change oil" indication. I have looked around the web but have not found an answer...does anyone know????

On your DIC when you bring up the OIL LIFE INDICATOR, just press the button on the dash next to the DIC with the arrow on it. You need to hold that button down until the system resets itself to 100% ( or 99% in some cases.)

How to Reset the Engine Oil Life
System
The Engine Oil Life System calculates when to
change your engine oil and filter based on vehicle
use. Anytime your oil is changed, reset the
system so it can calculate when the next oil
change is required. If a situation occurs where you
change your oil prior to a CHANGE OIL SOON
message being turned on, reset the system.
1. With the ignition key in RUN but the engine
off, repeatedly push the set/reset button until
OIL is displayed on the Driver Information
Center (DIC).
2. Once OIL is displayed, push and hold the
set/reset button for five seconds. The
number will disappear and be replaced
by 100 (indicating 100% oil life remaining).
3. Turn the key to LOCK.
If the CHANGE OIL SOON message comes back
on when you start your vehicle, the engine oil
life system has not reset. Repeat the procedure.
