Display "OIL LIFE RESET" on the DIC.
Press and hold the "ENTER" button for at least one second. An "ACKNOWLEDGED" display message will appear for three seconds or until the next button is pressed. This will tell you the system has been reset.
Turn the ignition to "OFF". If the "CHANGE OIL SOON" message comes back on when you start your vehicle, the engine oil life system has not reset. Repeat the procedure.

TURN ON THE IGNITION WITHOUT STARTING THE TRUCK, AND FULLY DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR THREE TIMES WITHIN FIVE SECONDS. TURN OF THE IGNITION AND THEN START. THIS SHOULD CLEAR THE MESSAGE. IF IT DOESN'T THEN REPEAT. HOPE THIS HELPS. LET ME KNOW. THANKS FOR USING FIX-YA.
