Oil life & reset procedures
Engine oil life system reset
Before you start
- Reset the system whenever the engine oil is changed so that the system can calculate the next engine oil change.
Steps
- Press the MENU button to show Remaining Oil Life on the display. This display shows an estimate of the oil's remaining useful life. If 99% is displayed, that means that 99% of the current oil life remains.
- To reset the engine oil life system, press the SET/CLR button while the oil life display is active. After a few seconds, there will be a single chime and the oil life will be reset to 100%.
- Lower the cover, slide it into the assembly, then secure with the two screws.
Operating the engine with the air cleaner/filter off can cause you or others to be burned.
when working on the engine and do not drive with the air cleaner/filter off.
If the air cleaner/filter is off, dirt can easily get into the engine, which could damage it.
