19 Buick Excelle engine oil reset method: Press the MENU button on the control lever, select the vehicle information menu, turn the adjustment wheel to select the oil life, hold the SBT button for a few seconds to reset, and the central display will show 100% oil life, indicating a successful reset. In terms of power, the 2019 Buick Excelle is equipped with two sets of drive combinations: a 1.3T dual-injection turbocharged engine paired with a 6-speed DSS intelligent dual-clutch transmission and a 1.0T dual-injection turbocharged engine paired with a 6-speed DCG intelligent dual-clutch transmission. The former has a maximum power of 120 kW and a peak torque of 230 Nm, while the latter has a maximum power of 92 kW and a peak torque of 170 Nm. For the interior, the 2019 Buick Excelle features a three-spoke multifunction steering wheel, ice-blue sporty instrument panel, fully automatic air conditioning system, one-key start function, rear air conditioning vents, and more.
I enjoy working on my car myself, and resetting the oil life on my 2019 Buick Excelle is quite simple. First, don't start the engine, just turn on the ignition. Locate the control buttons on the right side of the steering wheel, and use the left and right buttons to navigate to the oil life page on the dashboard. Then, press and hold the middle OK button for about five seconds, and you'll see the oil life percentage start flashing. Keep holding the button without releasing it, and after another ten seconds or so, the percentage will automatically jump to 100%. Be careful not to start the car during this process; wait until the reset is complete before firing up the engine. I do this every time after maintenance, otherwise the dashboard keeps nagging about changing the oil. Remember to drive a few kilometers after the reset to check if the warning light comes back on, just to be safe.
I've been driving this Excelle for five years, and I can reset the oil life with my eyes closed. After powering on, locate the five-way control button on the right side of the steering wheel. Toggle left and right to navigate the instrument cluster menu until you find the oil life interface on the info screen. Press and hold the center confirmation button firmly without releasing until the numbers start flashing. Keep holding until the value resets to 100%, then you can release. After successful reset, it's recommended to start the engine to verify the display status. The whole process takes less than half a minute, but remember to perform it with the engine off. I've noticed that in winter you need to press harder as the button gets stiffer. Pressing too lightly may cause failure, requiring multiple attempts.
