My oil-life was down to about 38% and one day about a week later I check and it was back at 100%...I figured somehow I had reset it by hitting the perfect combo of buttons some how...Anyway next time I looked it had went down to 98...But the next time I checked it was back at 100...It seems to keep resetting itself. Anyone herd of this?

The reset procedure is:

Key on, engine off.
Press gas pedal 3 times.
Oil life monitor will reset.

Could you possibly be resetting it yourself while fumbling around in the car before you start up and take off?

The only way I know how to reset mine is to press two buttons on the steering wheel the same time the info butten and the enter button that looks like an arrow. This puts you in a sub menu on the DIC where you can change options such was horn chirp when lock, turn the remote start feature on/off ECT... One option is reset oil life, you have to hold the enter button down for like three seconds on that option before it will reset to 100. Now some one said something another way to do it is pressing the gas pedel three times or something along those lines? If that is correct that could be how I am doing it. When I am in the car with it on acc playing the radio on a smoke break at work I do sometimes mess with the pedal just messin around...is this really also a way to reset it?
