Resetting Oil Message
How does one reset the "Change Oil" message?
I know I should know this!
Thanks!

oh, god... what a pain...
lemme see if I remember...
press and hold gauges for 5 seconds or something like that
release gauges, press it again... I think it's at this time something flashes, but I don't remember
then, press the Eng/Met button and hold it... then the change oil light should flash... it takes 10 seconds of holding for this to reset.
I THINK that's the process.

1 Turn the key to the "ON" position, but don't start the engine.
2. Press the ENG MET button on the Trip Monitor and release it. Then, within five seconds, press and release the ENG MET button again.
3. Within five seconds, of Step 2, press and hold the RANGE (1990-1991) button or the GAUGES (1992-1996) button on the Trip Monitor. The CHANGE OIL light will flash.
4. Hold the RANGE or GAUGES button until the CHANGE OIL light stops flashing and goes out. When the light goes out, the Engine Oil Life Monitor is reset. This should take about ten seconds. If it doesn't reset, turn the ignition "OFF" and repeat the procedure.
