This is how to reset your oil life on your old Cadillac Escalade with the DIC button. I was trying to figure it out and what I was doing is I was trying it on. So let’s go ahead now and try it for ourselves.

Turn on the ignition
First, turn the key to the on position but you cannot start the vehicle
Go to the OIL LIFE
Next, you come over here to the information center control panel and you press the Vehicle Info button and hit it several times until you see Oil Life remaining
Press the ✓ button for several seconds
After that, press the ✓ check button and hold it for five seconds until it goes back to this screen over here where it shows that you have a hundred percent oil life
Start the car
Now you can turn the ignition off and start the engine to verify the indicator has been reset

With Gas Pedal

The oil life system can also be reset as follows:

You’ll first place the key in the ignition and turn it on, but you won’t start the car at that point
As the last step, I’m going to push down on the GAS pedal three times and you’ll be good to go

So that’s how easy it is. As you can see, the oil gauge in the dashboard has been reset and is back to a hundred percent. Hit me up if you have any questions, and I will see you guys. Thanks for stopping by, and have a great time.

I have a 2007 Cadillac escalade and the warning sign is saying the my " Engine oil is low i need to add oil soon" but the problem is my engine oil life is at 100%. This is confusing me and keeps me frustrated.
