Default Change Oil Indicator
Does anyone know how to turn off the change oil indicator? I don't want to change the oil for another 5000 miles.

To reset the CHANGE OIL SOON message after an oil
change, do the following:
1. Press the TRIP button so the OIL LIFE percentage
is displayed.
2. Press RESET and hold for two seconds. OIL LIFE
REMAIN 100% will appear.

It's all in your owner's manual

After you reset the oil life wait a few seconds (maybe 10?) before changing the DIC to another setting as that will then reset too.
