Remaining Oil Life
This display shows an estimate of
the oil's remaining useful life.
If Remaining Oil Life 99% is
displayed, that means 99% of the
current oil life remains.
When the remaining oil life is low,
the Change Engine Oil Soon
message will appear on the display.
See Engine Oil Messages on
page 4 34. The oil should be
changed as soon as possible. See
Engine Oil on page 9 10. In
addition to the engine oil life system
monitoring the oil life, additional
maintenance is recommended in the
Maintenance Schedule in this
manual. See Scheduled
Maintenance on page 10 2 for
more information.
Remember, the Oil Life display must
be reset after each oil change. It will
not reset itself. Also, be careful not
to reset the Oil Life display
accidentally at any time other than
when the oil has just been changed.
It cannot be reset accurately until
the next oil change. To reset the
engine oil life system, press
the Oil Life display is active. The
display will ask for confirmation of a
reset. Press or to select Yes
or No. Then press to confirm the
selection. See Engine Oil Life
System on page 9 12.
