jakerz Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 For those that change their own oil (like me). some might already know this, but for those that dont: typically u change ur oil based on ur "life" meter on your instrument panel (100%-0%). well when u change ur oil ur truck doesnt reset the life meter. heres how to reset: turn key to accessories, pump gas pedal 3 times, turn off truck, then turn over the ignition...thats it. oil life meter will reset to 100%. hope this helps those who dont know!

Big O Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 I was always told that if you spent 3 hours in the stripclub that your oil life index would reset. I have tried it for years ... but it has never worked ... I guess I am doing it wrong ... I will just have to keep trying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
