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.
