    Got an oil change approx 100 miles ago.

    reset oil life displya...Oil life display now says 97%.

    Now I start my car everytime the HUD says check trip CPU and it says low oil level....

    Checked out, everything is good, any ideas?

    on alot of GM cars you turn the key to ON and press the gas pedal down 3 times in a row within 5 seconds to reset the oil change light.

    I blieve with low oil level means there is not enough oil in the engine, or the sensor has failed or is gummed up. As you have stated you have changed the oil life setting already, but you could try that as well.

    I'll vote for a sensor replacement, too.
    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.
