Before discovering how to correctly reset the engine oil light on your Chevrolet Equinox, ensure that the engine is off. Immediately insert the key and turn on the ignition. At the same time, press the accelerator pedal three times in quick succession (within about five seconds).

At this point, the oil light will start to blink. Wait a couple of seconds, then turn the key counterclockwise and turn off the ignition.

The reset is complete, and you just need to start the car to get the final confirmation. This entire process can be repeated at any time without any issues.
