Removal Procedure

NOTE: It is necessary to record the remaining engine oil life. If the replacement module is not programmed with the remaining engine oil life, the engine oil life will default to 100 percent. If the replacement module is not programmed with the remaining engine oil life, the engine oil will need to be changed at 5000 km (3,000 mi) from the last engine oil change.

Using a scan tool, retrieve the percentage of remaining engine oil. Record the remaining engine oil life.
