How to reset the oil change light on the 2020–2025 Jeep Gladiator

See also: Oil life reset by brand.

Most of these owner’s manuals describe two ways to reset the oil change indicator after an oil change: in the instrument cluster display, go to the Oil Life item and confirm Reset; or, with the ignition in ON/RUN and the engine off, fully press the accelerator pedal slowly three times within 10 seconds, then turn the ignition off. Check your manual for the exact menu on your model.

Oil change tips

  • 3.6L: one 5-quart jug.
  • The capacity is approximate. After refilling, run the engine briefly, turn it off, wait a few minutes and check that the level is in the safe range on the dipstick before adding more.
