Welcome back to my automotive channel! Today, I’ll show you how to reset the oil life and set it to 100 on a 2007 Ford Explorer, a method that works for models from 2006 to 2010, which belong to the third generation of Ford Explorers.
To start, you’ll need to follow these steps:
- Start the engine.
- Press the black button, which serves as both a select and reset button, until you reach the setup menu.
- Hold the reset button for a couple of seconds, release it, and then hold it again for a couple of seconds until the message “Oil Change Set to 100” appears.
Some people tend to hold the reset button until they reach the oil life set to 100 percent, but by following the method I’ve shown, you can specifically choose the percentage to reset the oil life.
By holding the reset button for a couple of seconds, the percentage drops by 10 each time. This allows you to set the oil life to a specific percentage, such as 40 percent, instead of 100 percent.
It’s important to be quick with your finger, as waiting for a few seconds may kick you out of the menu.
In summary, the process involves coming to the setup menu, holding the reset button, releasing, holding it again, and repeating the process until the desired oil life percentage is reached.
