Oil Life Monitoring System Reset

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

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 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 10,000 miles [16,000 km] or 12
months. For example, setting oil life start value to 60% sets the oil life
start value to 6,000 miles (9,600 km) and 219 days.
