Go to the Oil screen... then hold the reset till it changes.. its the one that looks like an arrow pointing back..

Did you know that's how you reset all of the features in the DIC back to zero, John?

How could a guy have 10,000+ posts and not know how to reset his DIC?

Age, my friend, age.

Good answer. I had an after send thought that perhaps I was a bit brash.

Heck no. I expect good comments like yours. You surprised me, however, because I had only seen your name a few times. I thought to myself that something must really have provoked you. I knew I should have read the manual, but it is in the garage and I am in the house. Just lazy.

John,

LT was correct with regard to resetting the oil %.

Doug Allen · 01-17-2009, 11:33 PM

Just tired of seeing the

being tossed around lately.....

What? You haven't noticed the hundreds of times that appeared in various threads?

Being a Mod on another site, I know it may not help, but can't hurt, sucking up.

It's even easier than that. When it gets down to 20%, i just change back to 100% and never have to change my oil.

Alex told me that as long as my DIC reads 40-100%, I have no worries and Alex wouldn't lie about that.......would he?

Of course not. In your case he may make an exception, so be careful

Heh, heh,,, I was lazy. The manual is in the garage and I am warm and cozy here in the living room and I knew some one would answer my question.

but gosh, I got much more than the answer. I read them to Mary and we both got a laugh.

There are actually two ways to reset oil life readout.

The easiest is the way LT posted and the other is to

turn key on (engine off) and press accelerator to floor 3 times in a row, oil gauge DIC readout resets to 100%.
