how to reset oil life on 2004 chevy silverado

It means that you should check your engine.. in rare cases, the lights may be faulty so they just show up even if there is nothing with your car engine

You can try to disconnect your battery for about 5 minutes and that will usually reset the computer.

TRY RESETTING OIL CHANGELIGHT BY TURNING THE IGNITION SWITCH TO THE ON POSITION WITH ENGINE OFF.TURN IGNITION SWITCH ON 10 SECONDS PUMP ACCELRATOR SLOWLY 3 TIMES .UNTIL OIL CHANGE LIGHT FLASHES THEN IT HAS RESET.

hello, here is the instructions on how to reset the light

When the system has calculated that oil life has been diminished, it will indicate that an oil change is necessary. A CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON message will come on. Change the engine oil as soon as possible within the next 600 miles (1000 km). It is possible that, if driving under the best conditions, the oil life may not indicate that an oil change is necessary for over a year. However, the engine oil and filter must be changed at least once a year and at this time the system must be reset.
If the system is ever reset accidentally, change the engine oil at 3000 miles (5000 km) since last oil change.
To reset the Engine Oil Life System, do the following:

1. Turn the ignition to ON, with the engine off.
2. Slowly fully press and release the accelerator pedal 3 times within 5 seconds.
The reset is complete when the chimes sound and the CHANGE OIL lamp goes out. If the lamp stays on and no chime is heard, repeat the reset procedure.

3. Turn the key to OFF.

If the CHANGE OIL lamp comes back on when the vehicle is started, the engine oil life system has not reset. Repeat the procedure.
