How do you reset oil change clock?

The procedure for resetting the oil change clock varies depending on the make and model of your vehicle, but here are general steps that apply to most vehicles:

  1. Turn the ignition to the "On" position without starting the engine.
  2. Locate the "Trip" or "Reset" button on your dashboard. It may be located on the instrument cluster or near the steering wheel.
  3. Press and hold the "Trip" or "Reset" button until the oil change light or indicator starts to flash or a message appears on the display.
  4. Continue to hold the button until the oil change light turns off or the message disappears. This usually takes a few seconds.
  5. Release the button. The oil change clock should now be reset.
  6. Start the engine to verify that the oil change light is off.


Additional notes:

- In some vehicles, you may need to press the "Trip" or "Reset" button multiple times to cycle through different settings until you reach the oil change indicator.

- If you can't find the "Trip" or "Reset" button on your dashboard, consult your vehicle's owner's manual for specific instructions.

- Some vehicles may have a different procedure for resetting the oil change clock. For example, in some Toyota vehicles, you may need to press the "Odometer" button repeatedly until the display shows "Oil Reset," then press and hold the "Trip" button to reset the oil change clock.

- If you are unable to reset the oil change clock yourself, you can take your vehicle to a mechanic or automotive service center where they can assist you.
