Sorry for the delayed response. Just In case you have not figured it out yet:
If your information system is the same as my 91 Seville the owners manual says to do the following:

Display the "Oil Life index" by pressing the "Eng Data" button. Then hold in the "Eng Data" and "Range" buttons together until the diplay show "100".

If I remember correctly the Oil Life Index will be displayed after pushing the Eng Data button the forth time, it may be the fifth.

Not sure this applies to your Caddy, but on my 99 Park Avenue the reset button does the job, but must be kept depressed for something like five seconds to reset the oil liife percentage.

This is the correct answer. The reset button zero's counters like, fuel used, aver econ, and that stuff.
