How does the oil life indicator system work, and what steps should be followed for changing the oil and Oil Filter on Chevrolet Cruze?

Question

Accepted Answer

Among these are models with an oil life indicator system, on which a light or message lit on the instrument panel signals the need for an oil change, depending on factors such as engine revolutions, time, distance and oil type to evaluate the status of the oil. This system generally permits the oil to be changed at greater intervals than 3 000 miles as suggested under the previously used system but constant changes are recommended for the benefit of the engines. If you wish to use this feature, do not go beyond 7,500 miles before changing the oil. Oil changes are important for day to day maintanance because the old oil can cause huge wear on the engine. Assembling the tools needed before laying the carpet and having rags in hand to wipe an spills. The opposite of such approaches can be explained by the fact that better access to the oil drain plug and filter can be achieved by lifting the vehicle. Look for oil drain plug, filter and be cautious of hot exhaust parts. The warm oil can therefore be expected to pour with a little more ease and this is why one is supposed to start the engine then allow it to warm up to normal operating temperature and then turn it off before removing the oil filler cap. Place the vehicle on jackstands then place a drain pan under the plug, unscrew the plug gently since it hot and can cause burns. Check the old oil for metal debris and check the drain plug for debris before reinserting it back to its position. For the 2015 and earlier models, place the drain pan below the oil filter, loosen the cap, and thereafter clean the housing before fitting a new O-ring as well as filter element. For the additional units after 2016, you need to undo the fastener with the wrench and then take off the filter by hand, with no traces of the old gasket left. Before joining the new and old filters; lubricate the new gasket and screw it in such that it is neither too tight nor too loose. After that, having taken out the tools which were under the car, pour new oil through the filler neck and identify the level by an octane whip. Turn the engine on, search for any leakage on the engine and ensure that the oil level is adequate, supplement it where necessary. Get rid of old oil and always make sure that it's recycles. For "Change Engine Oil," put the ignition on RUN, go to the Driver Information Center and select REMAINING OIL LIFE; set it to 100 percent and confirm the process, if needed.
