How do i Reset milage in message center after an oil change my Chrysler pacifica?

The process for resetting the oil change message on a Chrysler Pacifica's message center varies slightly depending on the model year and the specific infotainment system. There isn't a universal "mileage" reset; it's usually an oil life monitor reset.

However, the general approach involves these steps:

1. Turn the ignition to the "ON" position: Don't start the engine, just turn the key to the accessory position (where the radio and lights turn on).

2. Navigate to the settings menu: This is typically done through the touchscreen infotainment system. Look for a menu labeled "Settings," "Vehicle Information," "Maintenance," or something similar. The exact location varies by year and trim level.

3. Find the oil life reset: Within the settings menu, you should find an option related to oil life, oil change, or maintenance reminders. It might be worded as "Reset Oil Life," "Reset Oil Change Indicator," or something similar.

4. Follow the on-screen prompts: The system may ask you to confirm the reset. Some systems might require you to hold down a button or follow a specific sequence of button presses.

5. Verify the reset: After completing the steps, check the message center to confirm the oil change reminder has been cleared.

If you can't find the option through the touchscreen:

* Consult your owner's manual: This is the most reliable source for specific instructions for your model year and trim level. The manual will have detailed steps with screenshots or diagrams.

* Try the trip odometer reset button (if applicable): Some older models might use the trip odometer reset button in conjunction with other buttons to reset the oil life monitor. Again, check your owner's manual.

Important Note: If you're unsure about any of these steps, it's always best to err on the side of caution. If you're having trouble, consult your Chrysler dealer's service department. They can quickly reset the indicator for you.
