Oil Change Reminder Lamp: Service and Repair






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






1. Press the SETUP control to enter SYSTEM CHECK, then press SETUP control again to display "OIL LIFE XXX% HOLD RESET = NEW".






2. Press and hold the RESET control for two 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 display, if a lower oil life is desired, press and release the reset control to reduce the value. Each press of the RESET control reduces the value by 10%.

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