I changed the oil on my car for the first time. How can i get the Oil life to reset to 100% life remaining? Thanks in advance.

go to the oil life remaining display

push the throttle to the floor three times and it will reset

I think both techniques will work.

The procedure I use is explained in the owners manual. Works every time for me.

It should reset to 100%.

BTW you have to press the reset button for 3 - 4 seconds to get it to reset.

You don't even have to have the oil life showing on the display.

Turn ignition on, stomp the pedal to the floor 3 times, done.
