Engine oil life system

The vehicle engine oil life system informs when to
change the engine oil. Based on driving conditions,
the mileage at which an oil change will be indi-
cated can vary considerably. For the oil life system
to work properly, reset the system every time the
oil is changed.
Resetting the Engine Oil Life System
The Engine Oil Life System calculates when to
change the engine oil and filter based on vehicle
use. Anytime the engine oil is changed, reset the
system so it can calculate when the next oil
change is required. To reset the Engine Oil Life
System, do the following:
1. Turn the ignition key to ON with the engine
OFF.
2. Fully press and release the accelerator pedal
three times within five seconds.
3. Turn the key to LOCK.
