To reset the oil change indicator, the exact procedure depends on your vehicle make and model, but common methods include the following:
- Turn the ignition to the "on" position without starting the engine.
- Fully depress and release the accelerator pedal three times within 10 seconds, then turn the ignition off and start the engine to verify the reset
- Alternatively, find and hold the "Select/Reset" button for about 10 seconds until the oil change light blinks, then release it
- For some Ford vehicles, fully press and hold both the accelerator and brake pedals simultaneously for about three seconds until a message appears, then release
- Another common method for Ford models involves using the steering wheel controls:
- Turn ignition to "run" (dashboard lights on, engine off).
- Navigate to the Settings menu on the instrument cluster screen.
- Scroll to the Vehicle menu, then select Oil Life.
- Hold down the OK button until a "Reset Successful" message appears.
- Turn off the vehicle, then restart to confirm the reset
If these steps do not work, consult your vehicle's owner manual or contact a dealership for model-specific instructions. The key is to have the ignition on without the engine running and to interact with the dashboard controls or pedals as described
