I am facing the service engine oil error and need to fix.

Without knowing the exact year make model of your vehicle...it is impossible to answer that question. All cars have different procedures, some require expensive scantools to reset, some press and hold a button for 10 seconds.
Your owners manual usually will have the information IF its a button style reset. Look under MAINTANENCE

I need to know the procedure to reset, 'Change Oil warning' on my 2006 Ford Freestar.

On the right side of the steering wheel there is a button that says "setup". Turn the ignition key to the on position, push the setup button and hold it until the change oil warning shows 100%. There should be a message that pops up telling you to push the reset button to the right of the setup button. Push the reset button and hold until the message confirms the oil life has been changed to 100%. Release button turn off ignition key. Now start the engine to make sure the warning light does not come back on. If it does, try again.

How do you reset the "change oil" light?

Try this procedure;

Locate the "Red" reset button towards the top of the fuse panel, in the fuse panel on the side of the driver side dash. (Open driver side door and remove the fuse panel cover to access the fuse panel and the reset button)

1. Turn the ignition key to the "On" position, but do not start the engine.

2. Press and hold down the "Reset" button until the "Change Oil" light starts flashing.

3. Then press and hold down the "Reset" button again until there is a chime or beep(s) and the "Change Oil" light should then go out.

4. Turn off the ignition, and then start the vehicle and confirm that the "Change Oil" light has been reset.

(May have to repeat the procedure to be successful)

Let me know if this procedure did not work for your vehicle as there are other procedures and depending on the type of system that is being used.

I had my oil changed in October after the "oil

Try this procedure and let me know if this does not work;

Turn the ignition switch to the "On" position but do not start the engine.

1. Press the Trip/Reset button until "Setup Menu Hold Reset" is displayed.

2. Then press and hold down the Trip/Reset button for approximately 2 seconds until "Reset For System Check" is displayed then release the Trip/Reset button.

3. Then immediately press and hold down the Trip/Reset button again for approximately 2 more seconds until "OIL 100% RESET IF NEW" is displayed then release the Trip/Reset button.

4. Then immediately press the Trip/Reset button once to display "HOLD RESET IF NEW OIL" then release the Trip/Reset button.

5. Then immediately press and hold the Trip/Reset button again for approximately 2 seconds until "OIL LIFE SET TO 100%" is displayed.

Turn off the ignition switch, and then start the engine to verify that the reset procedure did work, and you might have to repeat the procedure if the Trip/Reset button is not pushed fast enough, or it is not held down long enough, or it is held down too long during the reset procedure, and it may take a few attempts to be successful.

I JUST CHANGED THE OIL ON MY 2006 COBALT AND THE READ OUT STILL SHOWS 25% ,MY QUESTION IS HOW DO I RESET THIS .THANKS

Try this and if it does not work let me know.

1. Turn the ignition key to the "Run" position but do not start the engine.

2. Press the display button until the display reads "Oil Life"

3. Press the accelerator (gas) pedal all the way down and all the way back up 3 times within 5 seconds.

4. The oil life index should reset to 100 or the display will read "Oil Life Index Resetting", and when completed then turn off the ignition.

Start the vehicle and verify that the oil life has been reset, and if it did not reset then repeat the procedure, because sometimes it will take more than one try to clear and reset the oil life index.


If that does not work then try this procedure...


1. Press the fuel information button until ENGINE OIL LIFE appears on the Driver Information Center (DIC).

2. Press and hold the select button.

3. The engine oil life percentage will return to 100.

4. Turn the key to OFF.

5. If the CHANGE ENGINE OIL message comes back on when you start your vehicle, the engine oil life system has not reset.
Repeat the procedure.

Change oil light stays on

Using the black push button/rod, you know the one where you can switch to see trip A trip B etc?
keep pushing it til you get to the check engine part then it will cycle through several things. when you find the right place it will read "if new oil hold reset" at this point just hold reset. That is the black push button/rod.

If this don't work, try it again, sometimes it may miss...
