Default "change oil" message.

It's now on all the time. How do I make it go away? I know there's a way involving the metric/eng button...just can't remember all of it. Thanks for any help.

Resetting "Change Oil" indicator
1. Turn ignition "ON" but do not start engine.
2. Press the "ENG/MET" Button and release, then, within 5 seconds, press it again.
3. Within 5 seconds of step 2, press and hold the "GAUGES" button. While the button is held,
the "CHANGE OIL" indicator will flash.
4. Continue holding the "GAUGES' button until the "CHANGE OIL" indicator stops flashing and goes out, indicating successful completion of the reset cycle. If id does not successfully reset, turn the ignition "OFF" and repeat the procedure from step 1.


:cheers:

1. Turn key to RUN, but don't start the engine.
2. Press ENG?MET on the trip monitor. Then, within 5 seconds, press it again.
3. Within 5 seconds, press and hold GAUGES on the trip monitor. The CHANGE OIL light should flash.
4. Hold the GAUGES button until the CHANGE OIL light stops flashing and goes out. This should take about 10 seconds.

Got this from my 1996 owners manual. Hope this helps.
