Default Change oil light

I have looked in my owners manual and did a search and can't find how you reset the change oil light. Can some one help me out on a 96?

Look in the appendix of the OM and look for Change Oil Light. I don't have my Helms or OM with me (at work).

Here ya go:

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.

You are right! I just checked the tech tips and no one has ever placed one there. If I get the chance when I get home, I'll do the old cut and paste into the tech tips. Sure would save a lot of typing (we need a carpel tunnel smiley).

OK, it's done. The Oil Life Monitor reset is now on it's way to becoming a tech tip.
