Oil life & reset procedures

Before you start
- Reset the system whenever the engine oil is changed so that the system can calculate the next engine oil change.
Steps
- Using the DIC controls on the right side of the steering wheel, display REMAINING OIL LIFE on the DIC. See Driver Information Center (DIC) 0 123. When remaining oil life is low, the CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON message will appear on the display. See Engine Oil Messages 0 133.
- Press V on the DIC controls and hold down for a few seconds to clear the CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON message and reset the oil life at 100%.

- Remove the screws (1) on top of the engine air cleaner/filter housing.
- Lift the filter cover housing away from the engine air cleaner/filter housing.
- Pull out the filter.
- Inspect or replace the engine air cleaner/filter.
- Reverse Steps 2-4 to reinstall the filter cover housing.
You’ll know it worked: The system is reset when the CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON message is off.
