Oil Change Reminder Lamp: Service and Repair

A press of the OIL CHANGE RESET switch will allow you to reset the oil life feature to 100% (or your Personalized Oil Reset Percentage). After you have the oil changed, you must execute the following procedure. Press the OIL CHANGE RESET switch and hold for five seconds as the M/C counts down for five seconds. After a successful reset the Message Center will display "OIL LIFE RESET TO 100%." If you have established a Personalized Oil Reset Percentage, the display will show that percentage instead of 100%. To ensure accurate oil life indicators, perform this reset procedure only after an oil change.

Your Personalized Oil Reset Percentage allows you to establish a smaller oil change interval than the manufacturer's recommended interval. To establish your Personalized Oil Reset Percentage perform the following procedure:

1. Press and hold the OIL CHANGE RESET switch and press the RESET switch while the display is still counting down the 5 seconds to reset. The display will change to "START OIL LIFE AT XXX%."

2. Press the OIL CHANGE RESET switch until the displayed percentage is the Personalized Oil Reset Percentage that you desire. Your choices are 100%, 90%, 80%, 70%, 60%, 50%, 40% and 30%.

3. Press the RESET switch to complete the procedure. A press of any switch besides RESET or OIL CHANGE RESET will abort this procedure and will not establish your new Personalized Oil Reset Percentage.

When your Personalized Oil Reset Percentage has been established, it will be used beginning with the completion of your next OIL CHANGE RESET procedure.
