Resetting the oil life for the GL8 only requires operating a few buttons on the headlight switch, and following a fixed procedure will ensure success. Below is relevant information about the model: Model: 2020 Buick GL8 New Land Business Class. The external dimensions of the new model remain largely the same as the older version, which is also considered mainstream among similar MPVs. The body length is 5238mm, width is 1878mm, height for the Comfort version is 1776mm, Luxury and Premium versions are 1800mm, and the Welfare version is 1789mm. The ES version also has slight differences in body dimensions compared to the standard model.
Last year I just reset the oil life for my 2020 Buick GL8, and it felt pretty straightforward. First, make sure the ignition is on but don't start the engine, and don't press the brake or accelerator. Then look at the multifunction button on the left side of the steering wheel, press it a few times to find the vehicle information menu on the dashboard, and scroll to the oil life item. Hold down the confirm button for about five seconds, and a reset prompt will pop up—just confirm it. I've tried this method several times, and it worked every time, as long as the oil had indeed just been changed. After resetting, the system will start calculating the mileage again and remind you of the next oil change time, which helps prevent excessive engine wear. If it's your first time doing this, it's best to check the detailed diagram on page 80 of the owner's manual first or ask a friend to guide you. The whole process takes less than a minute, but remember never to do it while driving—safety first.
