How to Reset the CHANGE OIL Light

After changing the engine oil, the system must be reset.

To reset the CHANGE OIL light after an oil change do

the following:

1. With the ignition key turned to ON, but the engine

off, fully push and release the accelerator pedal

slowly three times within five seconds.

If the CHANGE OIL light flashes, the system

is resetting.

2. Turn the key to OFF after the light has finished

flashing, then start the vehicle. If the CHANGE OIL

light comes back on, the engine oil life system has

not reset. Repeat the procedure.

What to Do with Used Oil

Did you know that used engine oil contains certain

elements that may be unhealthy for your skin and could

even cause cancer? Don’t let used oil stay on your skin

for very long. Clean your skin and nails with soap and

water, or a good hand cleaner. Wash or properly throw

away clothing or rags containing used engine oil. See

the manufacturer’s warnings about the use and disposal

of oil products.

Used oil can be a real threat to the environment. If you

change your own oil, be sure to drain all free

-flowing oil

from the filter before disposal. Don’t ever dispose of oil

by putting it in the trash, pouring it on the ground, into

sewers, or into streams or bodies of water. Instead,

recycle it by taking it to a place that collects used oil. If

you have a problem properly disposing of your used oil,

ask your dealer, a service station or a local recycling

center for help.
