Easy - just press the "odometer" button a few times until you see the oil indication. Then press and HOLD it until it resets (to 100).

That should do it.

Take Care,

Sorry about that. You didn't mention what year it was.

Here is what my manual says (for the 2000):

Follow this procedure to reset the GM oil life system:

Turn the ignition to ON without starting the engine.
Fully press and release the accelerator pedal three times within five seconds.
- If the CHANGE OIL SOON indicator flashes two times, the system is reset.
- If the CHANGE OIL SOON indicator comes on and stays on for five seconds, try to reset the system again.

Take Care,
