Oil Changes and the Oil Life System

Certified Service technicians at your GM dealer are GM-trained to understand how your GM vehicle uses its oil and how it monitors oil life. So an oil change from a GM-trained technician not only gives you great service, convenience and a great price, you also receive the added value of our expertise on the particular GM make and model that you drive. Head down the Certified Service lane at your GM dealer when it's time for your vehicle's next oil change.

Engine Oil Life System Most GM vehicles are now equipped with the Engine Oil Life System. This system actually senses your vehicle's speed and engine temperature and can continuously monitor operating conditions. This helps determine when it's time to change the oil.

This system can actually monitor your personal driving habits and your area's climate condition to let you know precisely when to come in for an oil change. When the oil life system light comes on, you come in. It's that simple. It will help save you money and help reduce oil waste.

Your Certified Service technician will reset your Oil Life System after an oil change. If you would like to reset the system yourself, ask your technician how, or consult your Owner Manual if necessary.

Checking Your Oil Level Always consult your Owner Manual for the proper procedure to check your oil level. You'll get a more accurate dipstick reading by following those instructions.
