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
- Display REMAINING OIL LIFE on the DIC. See Driver Information Center (DIC) (Base Level) 0 104 or Driver Information Center (DIC) (Uplevel) 0 107. 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.

- Press l or the thumbwheel to move to the Reset/Disable display area. Select Reset then press l or press the thumbwheel for several seconds.
