So i just had my oil changed and the display between the speedo and tachometer is flashing "change oil" I checked the oil, it's fine, nothing os leaking. Is there a way to reset this? Does the dealer have to do this or do i have to call onstar and have them do it? Thanks guys.

If that doesn't work there are directions in the owner's manual on how to reset your oil life light. It has nothing to do with the condition of your oil, it just comes up after a certain mileage.

I stand corrected, this is from the 06 owner's manual

Your vehicle has a computer system that lets you know
when to change the engine oil and filter. This is based
on engine revolutions and engine temperature, and
not on mileage. Based on driving conditions, the mileage
at which an oil change will be indicated can vary
considerably.

Here are the directions on how to reset the system

How to Reset the Engine Oil Life
System
The Engine Oil Life System calculates when to change
your engine oil and filter based on vehicle use. Anytime
your oil is changed, reset the system so it can calculate
when the next oil change is required. If a situation occurs
where you change your oil prior to a CHANGE OIL
message being turned on, reset the system.
To reset the Engine Oil Life system, do the following:
1. With the engine off, turn the ignition to ON.
2. Press and release the stem in the lower center of
the instrument cluster until the OIL LIFE message
is displayed.
3. Once the alternating OIL LIFE and RESET
messages appear, press and hold the stem until
several beeps sound. This confirms that the oil life
system has been reset.
4. Turn the key to LOCK.
If the CHANGE OIL message comes back on when you
start your vehicle, the engine oil life system has not
reset. Repeat the procedure. See DIC Warnings
and Messages on page 3-44.

turn ignition On, and press the accelerator pedal three times allowing for full travel from top to bottom. This will reset the oil change tables in the computer.

The first couple times I changed the oil, I did the 3 accelerator pumps just as you described because that's the way every GM I have owned reset the oil monitor. I assume, the pedal and the DIC stem methods accomplish the same thing, correct?

It isn't just a mileage counter. It is a computer program based on driving conditions, mileage, temps, operating conditions, etc
