From there, navigate to and select the option called maintenance info
On your display, a screen that says “oil life reset” should appear—use your up arrow to select reset
And that’s all there is to it! To be sure you’ve correctly reset your oil life, navigate back out to the main menu and exit your vehicle settings. The display should automatically update your oil life to 100%!
