Question edited for clarity.
Question moved to model category.

That is the ball park figure. A lot depends on how heavy footed you are and how you use the brakes.

according to the manual:

you have to have the engine off... turn the key to the "ACC" position which is the notch that allows power but doesn't turn the engine... then press the gas pedal fully THREE times within FIVE seconds...

however it doesn't always seem to work

Sit in the driver's seat of the XL7. Insert the ignition key and turn it to "RUN." Do not start the engine.

2 Press and release the gas pedal three times within five seconds. Watch for the engine oil light to flash, indicating that the system is reset.

3
Turn the key to "OFF" and remove it from the ignition.

This is incorrect and will not work.

1. Turn the key to the "ACC" position which is the notch that allows power but doesn't turn the engine.
2. The display will read change engine oil soon - hit the display button(i) and the display will read 0% oil life.
3. Hit reset button (the check mark button) for 5 seconds and the display will change to 100 % oil life.
4. It may not work the 1st,2nd,3rd .... attempt , but will work eventually.


To Fix:
go to the oil indicator by pressing the second button. Hold on the tick mark button for 3 seconds. This will reset the remaining percentage to 100%.

at the last resort, pulling battery neg. lug.
this may do it, im not sure, but will also drop radio settings.,etc.

for what country , this is www forum.
but if in USA?

Suzuki uses up to 53 different engines world wide.
and many diff, diesels depending on your countries smog rules.
post location,
old post, but i do the unanswered.

The 1.9-litre diesel engine in the latest version is sourced from Renault and delivers a hefty 221 ft lbs of torque for reassuring operation both on and off road. This power makes the Grand Vitara a far more versatile proposition, with even enough power to pull a small caravan if required.

Check the oil level with the dip stick! It would not be the first time that too little oil was put in an engine during a oil change! Also, the oil drain plug or the oil filter could be loose or missing!
Check for oil on the ground under the car or oil dripping from the undercarriage.

drain the fluid just as you would change the engine oil. Go ahead and change the filter at the same time-you will have to remove the tranny drain pan. You can get the filter and fluid from Auto Zone and they can advise what fluid and how much. Filter should come with new gasket.

The oil capacity differs from engine and what type of filter you use the variations are 4.4qts, 5.5qts, and 5.8qts. Check your oil with engine off anf screw the cap on then take it out and check the level

You can use an oil filter wrench or get a rubber handled wrench that you can open jar lids with and use that instead to turn counter-clockwise to remove. If stuck, jam a screwdriver through it and turn it.

Four or six cylinder engine and behind or front of the oil filter? Looked under my GV 2007 2.7 V6 and can not locate a shiny metal box next to the oil filter. Only thing that was shiny was the exhaust manifold and oil sump which are quite hard to break or puncture. If it was the oil sump you will have to remove it and get it welded as a bog will not hold on heated engine parts.
