    Nothing works now to reset the oil change warning. I have reset and reset and reset, and still every time I start it tells me that I am due for an oil change. I've managed to reset it previously, but this time it refuses to reset even after I follow the instructions.

Press the setup button until "press reset at oil change" is displayed.
Then press and Release reset button until "hold reset to confirm" is displayed.
Now press and Hold reset button until "oil life set to 100%" is displayed.

How do I reset the computer after changing the oil myself ? The change oil light comes on for about 30 seconds before going out. The motor is a 4.9L. Thank you...
Depress and hold RANGE and FUEL USED buttons until OIL LIFE INDEX appears on DIC display. Depress and hold RANGE and RESET buttons for 5-60 seconds. When OIL CHANGE SOON light flashes 4 times remaining oil life index is reset to 100 percent. If OIL CHANGE SOON comes on and stays on for 5 seconds, display did not reset, and you will have to try again.
