Yahoo.comI need to reset the change oil indicator. I just changed the oil, and looked for an owners manual not there. Bought car used sooo.

Not knowing what make / model car you have makes an answer to this impossible as there are many ways of resetting the indicator. Most of the time, you have to press and hold one of he switches or ignition to reset. Try looking on google , using the cars make / model number and asking "reset of oil change indicator on the make and model you have."

Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil change
indicator system. The "Oil Change Due" message will
flash in the EVIC display for approximately 10 seconds
after a single chime has sounded to indicate the next
scheduled oil change interval. The engine oil change
indicator system is duty cycle based, which means the
engine oil change interval may fluctuate dependent upon
your personal driving style.

Unless reset, this message will continue to display each
time you cycle the ignition to the ON/RUN position. To
turn off the message temporarily, press and release the
MENU button. To reset the oil change indicator system
(after performing the scheduled maintenance), perform
the following procedure:

1. Without pressing the brake pedal, push the ENGINE
START/STOP button and cycle the ignition to the ON/
RUN position (Do not start the engine.)

2. Fully depress the accelerator pedal, slowly, three times
within 10 seconds.

3. Without pressing the brake pedal, push the ENGINE
START/STOP button once to return the ignition to the
OFF/LOCK position.

NOTE: If the indicator message illuminates when you
start the vehicle, the oil change indicator system did not
reset. If necessary, repeat this procedure.

Good luck on resetting the change oil light.

That was a new one for me and found the solution in the .pdf file
located on the owners section of the jeep.com website for the 2009 Jeep Patriot.

your computer needs to be reset. the mech who changed your oil should be able to help you out with that. If you did it your self just visit Saturn they can advise how to do this. It may also be in the owners manuale, though it usually is not.

This should only be indicating time for an oil change. Now, if the red, check engine light comes on, then you have an oil/engine problem.

Possibly the maintenance light wasn't reset when the last change was done. If you don't have the owners manual to check, I found a referenced method (below) to reset it through AMSOIL synthetic oil products. Good Luck

To reset Engine Oil light. Turn the ignition key to RUN with the engine off. Fully press and release the accelerator pedal three times within five seconds. If the Change Engine Oil light is flashing, the system is reset. The light will flash for up to 30 seconds or until the ignition is turned off. If the light comes on again and stays on for 30 seconds at the next ignition cycle, it did not reset. You will need to reset the system again.

Check with owners manual to see if this code indicates a change oil or low oil pressure. To be sure, check engine oil level before starting vehicle. If this is a change oil indicator, the owners manual will give the steps required to clear.

try this website to see if they have your car listed its www.edmunds.com for a online owner manual

Owners manual should have the info you need to reset it

Yes they should have reset the oil change light for you, but most don't, the reset procedure is in the owners manual, it is easy to use, but varies from model to model.
