I have a 2000 that use to consume oil. Only way to get rid of the message on the DIC after adding oil was having the car off for few hours. I still wonder what the logic is behind that.

Thanks for the gas pedal trick, mine was on change oil now but I was to lazy to look it up in the manual.

As far as I know the HUD will give you 3 different readings.

Water temperature
Fuel level
Oil Pressure

Turn the ignition on but don't start the car. Push the gas pedal to the floor 3 times.
Yea, sounds funny, but that's one of the ways to reset it.
