Oil Change Indicator June 24, 2021, 06:30:44 pm When I started up the LD today, the Oil Change Required warning light came on. I went to clear it but the procedure spelled out in the Ford owner’s manual didn’t work. So a few questions for those of you more familiar with this chassis than I am:1. Why would the warning message come on after only a little more than 1,000 miles since the last oil change (although it has been six months)?2. What would cause the light not to clear even though I did what the manual states?3. Will my code reader clear the light?Thanks!

Hold the button until it shows options like oil life remaining. When you get there, hold the button down for a few seconds and it will reset the oil life to 100%.Harold 1 Likes
Re: Oil Change Indicator Reply #2 – June 24, 2021, 07:02:21 pm Thanks, Harold! Your method worked and I was able to reset it to an estimated 80% remaining. The manual instructed me to turn the ignition to ON but not start it, then simultaneously depress the gas and brake pedals for 25 seconds. 🤔🙄
