These instructions apply to the Chevrolet Suburban (K2XX) 2015-2020.
For other models, please choose your vehicle here.
The 2015–2020 Chevrolet Suburban (K2XX), GM’s longest full-size SUV, shows CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON at service time via the GM Oil Life System. After an oil and filter change you clear it from the Driver Information Center — and this generation gives you two ways to do it. This is the US-market procedure.
- Ignition ON/RUN, engine off. Page the DIC to OIL LIFE REMAINING with the steering-wheel buttons (or the trip stem on trucks without DIC buttons).
- Hold the ✓ (checkmark) button — or the trip stem — for several seconds until it reads 100%.
Accelerator-pedal method
- Ignition ON/RUN, engine off.
- Press the accelerator to the floor slowly, three times within five seconds.
- 100% on OIL LIFE REMAINING confirms it.
FAQ
Button or pedal?
Both work on the K2XX Suburban. The earlier GMT900 Suburban had only the SET/RESET-button method.
What oil and how much?
The 5.3L V8 takes dexos1 0W-20 (2017 on; 2015–2016 called for 5W-30), about 8.0 qt with a filter.
Does it have Stop/Start and need an AGM battery?
No — these K2XX full-size SUVs have no Auto Stop/Start, so a standard maintenance-free battery is correct.
The Suburban is the extended-length version of the Chevrolet Tahoe and shares the Silverado’s GM running gear, so these steps are identical across all three — see our Chevrolet Tahoe guides and Silverado guides.
