Method 1: Using the Trip Odometer Reset Button (Most Common)
1. Turn the ignition to the "ON" position. Do *not* start the engine.
2. Locate the trip odometer reset button. This is usually a small button on the instrument cluster, near the speedometer. It might be labeled with a small triangle or a similar symbol.
3. Press and hold the trip odometer reset button. While holding it down, you'll likely need to cycle through different odometer readings.
4. Keep holding the button. Continue holding until the oil change indicator resets or the oil can icon disappears from the display. This may take a few seconds or up to 30 seconds. The specific behavior may vary slightly.
Method 2: If no trip odometer reset button works (Less common):
Some 2005 Grand Cherokees may use a different method, usually involving a sequence of turning the ignition on and off. You might need to consult your owner's manual for the precise steps.
If neither method works:
* Consult your owner's manual: The manual should have the exact instructions for resetting the oil change indicator for your specific model.
* Search online for your specific model year and trim level: A more specific search (e.g., "2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo oil change indicator reset") may yield better results.
* Visit a Jeep dealership or mechanic: They can easily reset the indicator for you.
Remember to actually *change your oil* before resetting the indicator. The indicator is just a reminder; it doesn't magically make the oil fresh.
