If it's like my 2000 GMC you turn the key on without starting the engine and depress the gas pedal 3 times then turn it off. Then it should be good. Yeah, crazy isn't it? It works.

do you have the buttons on the steeey on and press gas pedal 3 times wait for the change oil soon light to start flashing and turn the key off

On my old 2000 Monte Carlo I had to use the buttons on the radio

Turn key on, DO NOT START. Push the gas pedal all the way to the floor 3 times. Then turn key off and then start engine. Light should flash and then go out. Just be sure that you let all the way off of the gas pedal each time

Grey Ghost, it should work the same as if the Change Oil message was on. It will reset it back to 100%.
