Hello everyone, today I decided to do an oil change. When I turn on the ignition, I see the message “oil change required” because the car won’t start fully. To reset this reminder and perform the oil change, follow these steps:
Start with having your brake pedal and acceleration pedal ready and leaving your ignition on. With the key fully forward but not turning the engine on, press your acceleration pedal all the way to the floor and then press your brake. Just wait for a minute and you’ll see “service oil reset in progress”. Keep holding for about 20 seconds until it resets to “service oil reset completed”. Release the accelerator and the brake. Now, your vehicle is ready to countdown your kilometres or mileage to the next oil change.
I hope this guide was helpful and informative. Have a good day!
