Commander 2WD V8-4.7L Flex Fuel (2009)
Oil Change Reminder Lamp: Service and Repair
OIL CHANGE REQUIRED INDICATOR RESET
NOTE: A change oil indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. However, on vehicles manufactured for export markets, this
indicator is electronically disabled. This indicator is located within the odometer/trip odometer Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD)
unit. The change oil indicator consists of cycling textual CHANGE and OIL messages which appear in place of the odometer/trip
odometer information in the odometer VFD unit.
This vehicle is equipped with an engine oil change indicator system. The "Oil Change Required" message will flash in the EVIC display for
approximately 10 seconds after a single chime has sounded, to indicate the next scheduled oil change interval. The engine oil change indicator system is
duty cycle based, which means the engine oil change interval may fluctuate, dependent upon your personal driving style.
Unless reset, this message will continue to display each time you turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position. To turn off the message temporarily,
press and release the MENU button. To reset the oil change indicator system (after performing the scheduled maintenance) refer to the following
procedure.
-
Turn the ignition switch to the ON position (Do not start the engine).
-
Fully depress the accelerator pedal, slowly, three times within 10 seconds.
-
Turn the ignition switch to the OFF/LOCK position.
NOTE: If the indicator message illuminates when you start the vehicle, the oil change indicator system did not reset. If necessary, repeat this
procedure.
