Chevrolet Cruze Owners Manual: Engine Oil Life System
The engine oil life system calculates engine oil life based on vehicle use and displays the CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON DIC message or Code 82 DIC message when it is necessary to change the engine oil and filter.
Remember, the Oil Life display must be reset after each oil change. It will not reset itself. Also, be careful not to reset the Oil Life display accidentally at any time other than when the oil has just been changed.
It cannot be reset accurately until the next oil change. To reset the engine oil life system press the SET button while the Oil Life display is active.
Resetting the Oil Life System
