Oil Change Reminder Lamp: Service and Repair






Oil Life

An oil change is required whenever indicated by the message center. USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ENGINE OILS.

To reset the oil monitoring system to 100% after each oil change ( approximately 7,500 miles ( 12,000 km ) or 12 months ) perform the following:






1. Press and release the SETUP control to display "OIL LIFE = XXX% HOLD RESET = NEW".






2. Press and hold the RESET control for 2 seconds and release. Oil life is set to 100% and "OIL LIFE SET TO 100%" is displayed.
3. While "OIL LIFE SET TO 100%" is displayed, if a lower oil life is start value is desired , press and release the RESET control to reduce the start value. Each press of the RESET control reduces the value by 10 percent.

Note: Oil life start value of 100% equals 7,500 miles ( 12,000 km ) or 12 months. For example, setting oil life start value to 60% sets the oil life start value to 4,500 miles ( 7,200 km ) and 108 days.
