Hello, I can help you with this. Turn the ignition on, but don't start the engine. Press the "Menu" button on your driver information center repeatedly until "Oil Life" is displayed. Press and hold the "Enter" button until you see the word" Acknowledged". Turn the ignition off and remove the key.

I changed the oil when dash was showing 10% oil life but after the oil change a week later its now saying 5% oil life change oil soon... how do i fix this????

After an oil change, you need to reset the oil change reminder. Your owners manual should have the instructions on this. If not, search on the web for the how to do this.

I drive a 2008 Ford Sport Trac and had the oil change a couple of days ago. The oil change light has never gone off. I read my guide and can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I even went back to the place...

This should be in your owners manual. here is a snapshot from your owners manual below. There is an optional panael that's a little different but I think it the same procedure to reset. If it's not just post a reply/comment and i should get an email and I will post the optional one. i just needed to look it up. this is the standard one. I hope this helps and good luck. by the way where you got your oil change should know this and you might want to think about another place to get it down....just a thought as an owner of a shop myself.

My change oil light never goes off even though I had it changed and now my service vehicle soon light is on even though its been running fine

The change oil light needs to be reset after each oil change...some shops are not knowledgeable on how to do this...Your owners manual will instruct you how to reset the oil change light...The service engine soon is a catch all for low fluids and other needs...Be sure to check your oil level again...to clear the service engine soon light, you can disconnect either battery cable for 15 minutes then reconnect...if the service engine stays on...then you need to have your Grand Am checked...Auto Zone does a free diagnostic of check engine light codes...:)

I have a 2008 dodge avenger, after I finished making oil change the engine light went on. What would it be the probvlem?

The oil change light is usually mileage related, and just needs to be reset. It does not know if oil was actually changed or not. Check your owners manual, or stop by a quick lube place for directions on how to reset it. This is not a problem.

To reset "CHANGE OIL" light, turn the ignition switch to the run position without starting the engine. Fully depress and release the accelerator pedal 3 times within 5 seconds. and wait for the light to flash. Check your manual it maybe slightly different. Real easy fix.

I have a pontiac g6 and my change oil light has been on. i went and got a oil change and nothing happened and i cant see where to put the tRANSNISSION FLUID??

With the "CHANGE OIL SOON" message displayed, press any of the three DIC buttons to clear the "CHANGE OIL SOON" message. 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. on the 3.5 liter you have a dipstick near fire wall
