How to reset the system after changing the oil for the 2019 Buick Excelle?
2 Answers
When the remaining oil life is too low, the screen will display the message "Please change the oil soon." At this time, the oil should be changed as soon as possible. The method to reset the system after changing the oil for the 2019 Buick Excelle is as follows: 1. Locate the vehicle ignition switch in the ON position. 2. Press the menu button on the turn signal. 3. Enter the vehicle information and oil life system. When you see the turn signal switch displaying "Set/Clear," press the button while simultaneously stepping on the vehicle brake pedal. Information about oil changes is as follows: 1. When it is found that the oil in the engine oil pan is insufficient, it should be added or replaced in time to avoid poor lubrication of bearings and journals due to oil problems, which will aggravate the wear of parts and may even cause a bearing seizure accident. 2. The oil life screen must be reset manually after each oil change. It will not reset itself.
Last time I changed the oil for my Excelle myself and noticed the oil light on the dashboard was still on, so I researched the reset procedure. It's actually quite simple. First, power on the car without starting the engine. Then use the control button on the left side of the steering wheel to bring up the oil life display on the dashboard. Press and hold the checkmark confirmation button on the steering wheel for about ten seconds until the oil life percentage on the screen jumps from zero to 100%, completing the reset. If you release the button midway, you'll have to start over. This reset shouldn't be skipped because the vehicle's computer will recalculate the maintenance cycle based on the new oil. It's recommended to perform this reset every oil change, otherwise the next maintenance reminder might be inaccurate, affecting the vehicle health assessment.
