Default Oil Change

Took the car to the dealer for the first oil change(3000) and the Oil Life reading went back up to 100%, well I went to Jiffy Loob for the 6000 and the Oil Life reading stayed at 87%...is there something the dealer did that JL didn't? Is there some magic switch that put the reading back to 100%? :confused:

you have to reset it yourself...there are a two ways that i know, i just turn the ignition w/o starting it and press the gas pedal three times, and it should reset itself.

Select the oil life remaining on your DIC and hold the reset button for a few seconds.

My owners manual for my 2002 says to turn the key on without starting the engine. Press the TRIP button so the OIL LIFE percentage is displayed. Press RESET and hold for two seconds. The OIL LIFE REMAIN 100% will appear. He is right, you have to do that yourself. The Jiffy Lube people probably don't have a clue how to reset it.
