Can't reset code 82

[VegasJen]

Hey guys. I'm new here, but been a gear head my whole life.

Anyway, I do all my own maintenance and for the last week I've had the code 82 on the DIC. Did the oil and filter change today but I couldn't get the oil life indicator to show up on the DIC. I did exactly as the manual says, also watched a couple of Youtube videos, but no joy.

What I've tried so far:
Key on, engine off, press menu button.
Key on, engine on, press menu button.
Key on, engine off, neutral, press menu button
Key on, engine off, foot on brake, press menu button
Key on, engine off, hold menu button
Key on, engine off, reverse, press menu button
Key on, engine off, 1st gear, press menu button

And various incarnations of this. At no point will it go to the oil life indicator. I know I reset it after the last oil change but that was like eight or nine months ago and I don't know if I did something different or the car is just being wonky today. I even tried clearing it using my Innova 3160 code reader but it doesn't show up as a fault code.

I am really not a fan of so much computer control **** on cars. They seem to have a mind of their own and decide when they will and will not cooperate.

Umm, if I remember correctly.. with car on, press the menu button and cycle to milage and then rotate the nob on the stall and cycle it till you get oil life %, next push and hold the button in the tip (end) of the stalk.

This should reset it to 100%

I will double check this in the morning, doing my oil next sat.

If that order isn't correct, it's a variation on that

Ugh! I finally got it. Did like you said, but it never came up as oil life. When cycling through I accidentally scrolled on the unit (MPH, KPH) screen. For some reason, the oil life was in that menu. I don't ever remember it being there before, but that's what I mean about cars and computers.

On a side note, my neighbor has a 2015 Camaro. I've had the opportunity to drive it quite a bit. I love everything about the car that's a car, and can't stand anything about the car that's a computer.

Awesome, ya that's why I wasn't 100% sure but knew it would point ya in the right direction.

I hate oil life monitors, prefer tracking by milage.

Oil life monitors are much more accurate than tracking by mileage.

Most GM units, I haven't tried the sonic but i'm sure it's the same, if you turn the key on, engine not running, and press the gas pedal fully down and release 3x within 5 seconds, it will reset.

It's simple to reset these via the menu stalk though.

I did try that because that's the way I reset it on my Vette, but that didn't work either. Finally got it, but I remain skeptical of all the computerization on cars.
One of my biggest beefs with this car is the fly-by-wire throttle. In the summer, when the AC is on, if I leave a stop light, I have to rev the engine before releasing the clutch or it just falls flat on its face. I've stalled it several times. I actually have to drive this car differently depending on the season.
