be changed at 3,000 miles (5 000 km) since the last
oil change. Remember to reset the oil life system
whenever the oil is changed.
How to Reset the Engine Oil Life
System
The Engine Oil Life System calculates when to
change your engine oil and filter based on vehicle
use. Whenever the oil is changed, reset the system
so it can calculate when the next oil change is required.
If a situation occurs where the oil is changed prior to a
CHANGE OIL SOON message being turned on, reset
the system.
After changing the engine oil, the system must be reset:
1. Turn the ignition to ON/RUN, with the engine off.
2. Press the information and reset buttons on the
Driver Information Center (DIC) at the same time to
enter the personalization menu. See DIC Vehicle
Personalization on page 446.
3. Press the information button to scroll through the
available personalization menu modes until the
DIC display shows OILLIFE RESET.
4. Press and hold the reset button until the DIC
display shows ACKNOWLEDGED. This will tell
you the system has been reset.
5. Turn the key to LOCK/OFF.
If the CHANGE OIL SOON message comes back on
when the vehicle is started, the engine oil life system
has not reset. Repeat the reset procedure.
