2012-2020 Holden Colorado Oil Life/Oil Change Light Reset Guide
Last Updated on August 1, 2021 by Nick
Hi, trucker fam! Holaaa! It’s Monday, and while I was out running around town today, I get an oil change minder. I am changing the oil for the first time since I’ve had the truck. The only real annoyance left that we have to deal with is going to be with resetting the oil life or oil change light because, like all new cars, this Holden Colorado got one of those.
So now I will be going to show you how to reset it on this Holden Colorado. Thanks for checking out the content, and let’s get into it. I am going to run through the steps quickly, promptly, but correctly.
Holden Colorado Oil Life/Oil Change Light Reset Guide
Time needed: 3 minutes
Alright, we got the oil change all done, and now it’s time to go ahead and reset the oil life remaining for it. So basically, what you do is you use your controllers on the turn signal lever to do it. Let me show you how it’s done.
- Come inside the truck and turn the key on without starting the engine
If your vehicle has an ignition button, press the Start/Stop button without step on any pedal
- Go to the VEHICLE menu
Next, you want to get to the VEHICLE menu, so to get to that you can hit the MENU button on the turn signal lever
- Scroll down to the OIL LIFE
Then you want to scroll up or down by using the thumbwheel until reaching the OIL LIFE
- Press the SET/CLR button
Once you get there you’ll press the SET/CLR button on the top and it will ask you to reset the oil life
- Select YES to confirm
Finally, highlight YES and then press the SET/CLR button to confirm and you’re done
For your info, this operation work for the second generation of the Holden Colorado (2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 model years).
So that’s how you reset it. It’s pretty easy, pretty standard stuff. Let me know in the comments if you want to see anything else. I appreciate the love, and it’s nice to see a bunch of people with Colorado and show and love for Colorado. So thanks for reading and happy truckin.

Hi Nick,
I have a 2018 LTZ colorado and I was wondering how you can update your nav system, as I believe there’s a update out.
