The 5th gen Camaro's like many new cars have a sensor that tells you when to change the oil in your car and how much "oil life" is remaining. When you do an oil change in your car, you must reset this sensor for it to remain accurate. Otherwise, you'll find shortly after you change your oil, your Camaro will be screaming at you to change it again.
The below options address the following questions:
There are 2 known methods that you can use to reset this sensor - none of which require fancy tools or an expensive trip to the dealership.
Option 1 - common among many GM vehicles:
Turn your ignition key to run but do not start the car. Push the gas pedal to the floor 3 times within 5 seconds. Turn the ignition off, then start the car. Your change oil light should be off.
Option 2
Turn the ignition to on but do not start the car. Press your setup button and go into the display for remaining oil life. Press and hold down the set/clear button on the dic (driver information center) for 5 seconds before releasing. If successful your dash will read oil life set to 100%
Both methods will work on your V6 Camaro.
