From page 10-11 in the 2013 owners manual

How to Reset the Engine Oil
Life System
Reset the system whenever the
engine oil is changed so that the
system can calculate the next
engine oil change. To reset the
system:
1. Turn the ignition to ON/RUN with
the engine off.
2. Press the DIC MENU button
on the turn signal lever to enter
the Vehicle Information Menu.
Use the thumbwheel to scroll
through the menu items until you
reach REMAINING OIL LIFE.
3. Press the SET/CLR button to
reset the oil life at 100%.
4. Turn the ignition to LOCK/OFF.
The system is reset when the
CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON
message is off and the REMAINING
OIL LIFE 100% message is
displayed.
If the CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON
message comes back on when the
vehicle is started, the engine oil life
system has not been reset. Repeat
the procedure.

The reset procedure for a 2006 is a little different. Use the menu and reset/enter buttons by the radio. Press the menu button repeatedly until oil life reset is displayed, then push and hold the reset/enter button for a couple of seconds. This is best done with the engine running in Park. Check your owner's manual.

This thread should me moved?

I thought it should be moved as well Elvis but then I looked at bazooka1's past posts and he said he had a 2013 LTZ Malibu.
