Clearing the Oil Change Light
 
I am on a road trip and I don't have the owners manual with me. My Change Oil warning light is on.

Please post the procedure to clear the Change Oil Light.

Thanks

Jim

Key on, Engine off.
Press ENG MET within 5 second press it again.
Press and hold GAUGES button. CHANGE OIL light will flash.
Hold until CHANGE OIL light stops flashing. When it stops it is reset

FYI for next time......
The reset info is in your Owner's Manual on page 86.
I keep a book mark there.
Depending on what MY you have this page could vary a bit.
Mine is a 90.

Correct however hes driving the Yellow 94 for his road trip so the procedure is right. However there is no "Gauges" button to press for the MY90 or 91 as Scott is correctly pointing out.

Or place a small flathead screw driver in front of the "Change Oil" light. While holding the screwdriver w/ your left hand, grab a standard general purpose hammer w/ your right hand. Gently tap the end of the screw driver until the blade penetrates the plastic lense and break the lamp behind the plastic lense. Replace all tools back in the appropriate storage compartment - Just funning with you Jim.:cheers:
