P0300 Code cleared help

[Beastlick]

I was driving last night and all of a sudden I had my display throw a check engine light and code 82 popped up in the display. I checked the codes with my red cable this morning and came back as a P0300 random misfire. I cleared the code restarted the car and EZ flash, ran another code check because the code 82 was still up on the display, but the red cable found nothing.

I tried to log this issue but for some reason it would not get past hitting start and said I should contact my seller. If anyone can give me a hand getting rid of the code on the display it'd be greatly appreciated.

code 82 is your oil change. menu, twist until you see oil life, reset.

code 82 is oil life

from page 10-12 in the Owner's Manual

How to Reset the Engine Oil Life System
Reset the system whenever the engine oil is changed so that the system can calculate the next engine oil change. To reset the system:

1. Press the MENU button to show Remaining Oil Life on the display. This display shows an estimate of the oil’s remaining useful life. If 99% is displayed, that means that 99% of the current oil life remains.

2. To reset the engine oil life system, press the SET/CLR button while the oil life display is active. After a few seconds, there will be a single chime and the oil life will be reset to 100%.
Be careful not to reset the oil life display accidentally at any time other than after the oil is changed. It cannot be reset accurately.
If the Code 82 DIC message comes back on when the vehicle is started, the engine oil life system has not reset. Repeat the procedure.

Worked perfect guys, thanks for the help! Oil life was reading 4%. Makes complete sense now, first dealer oil change around 4K. I did the last two myself and i'm just under 14K. I obviously haven't reset the oil life meter either of those times.

Big tip for those of you changing your own oil, the life meter counts up about 10K miles before throwing the code 82 and not allowing you to see much on your display. Make sure you reset this counter.

I mainly got a little worried, when I had to clear two random misfire codes. Thanks again for the help guys, I should have searched a little harder.

If you're still having trouble getting EZ Flash to run, shut the computer all the way down and bring it back up. Sometimes I have trouble if it has been a while since rebooting the NetBook.

Figured there was a strong probability you'd done your own oil change and forgot to reset the OLM. I regularly forget the thing until code 82 pops up, then I reset it haha. It's always nice when It's something simple.

Why It's "code 82" and not "oil life exceeded" or something like that is weird. Much more confusing, maybe GM made it that way to scare people into going to the dealer instead of just neglecting to change the oil?


I can't recall if you've checked/set the plug gap? They could cause a sporadic miss if they're off.
