grab th manual. i forget off the top of my head but i think you need to do it car off, key on. hold down the info button and then scroll to oil life reset, then restet it. itr tells you in the manual.

You should be able to hold down the arrow button(right side button on 06's) on the console for a few seconds (while on the oil life tab of course) & it should reset like the others do. Is this what you guys are seeing?

I seriously have no idea how you guys pay what you pay for an oil change. I too have the SS/SC that uses 6 quarts of mobile one and my dealer only charges me 40 bucks.
100! Rape!

NO..... When in doubt open your manual. It says how. you need to do it close to like i said up top. Key on, car off. You can then scroll through and find the oil life reset, and select it. TADA. If i have to, I will look it up myself for you and post it after work. but don't you all know your car comes with a manual.

Get in the drivers seat..... turn ignition to run position..... then hold BOTH buttons down until is says something (i forget what it says). Then cycle through until it says oil life reset and hold the button down just like when you reset anything else. This should do it. If it doesn't work look in the owners manual. I had to do the same thing earlier today b/c the dealer didn't reset mine either.......

well you never know, this car surprises me everyday lol, but ya that could be dangerous if reseted if you have a substancial amount of miles after the oilchange, i guess thats why there are a few steps to reseting as appose to presing 1 button by accident.

paying 100 dollars for an oil change is dumb, for mobile1 id say maybe 50 Canadian at most. your dealership stuck it up your ass on that one buddie... sorry to hear it.
