bigalx58 Report post Posted October 19, 2010 I'm sorry, maybe I've got an abridged version of the owner's manual, but I can't find any instructions on how to reset the oil life monitor. Could you please attach the instructions here? Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could you please attach the instructions here? Thanks. Well that's strange - it ISN'T in the owners manual after all. No mention of it whatsoever. Either it's an oversight or it's something only the dealer can change. Follow the instructions for checking message center status and see if it pops up. Now that I think about it, I've never seen an oil life warning on my 08 Limited either. Maybe it's just not there. Are you sure the dealer reset it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bpattie Report post Posted October 19, 2010 In reading the manual, it does say for you to remember to reset oil life indicator when changing oil. SO unless that is stated in error or incompletely (needs to be done by dealer) then it should be there. In several places (Control F) it further states to see instrument cluster section. In the Instrument cluster section I do not see clear notes, but it refers to reset functionality. Will have to look next time in the car. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigalx58 Report post Posted October 19, 2010 I'm assuming that the dealer did it because it said so on the work order. I guess I could ask the dealer...maybe it's a trade secret? lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bpattie Report post Posted October 19, 2010 I'm assuming that the dealer did it because it said so on the work order. I guess I could ask the dealer...maybe it's a trade secret? lol This probably does not help you much, as I have an 11 model, but may for those reading this thread. I have an 11 model with the left and right 4 inch screens to each side of the speedometer. With mine it is done by arrowing left to the menu on the left side, then arrow dow to settings, choose Vehicle, then arrow to oil minder reset. at that point I have the option to reset it to 100%, 80% and so on. So unless they just added the ability for consumer to reset, you must have the option to do that somehow. Sorry I can't speak for the 10 model. BTW, Renting several 2010 models traveling, was the reason i choose to buy the Edge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bigalx58 Report post Posted November 1, 2010 After doing some more digging, it would appear that my Edge does not have an oil life monitor. Back to the old sticker method....I'll see if I get any warnings as I get closer to oil changing time !! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevede Report post Posted January 29, 2012 I followed your directions and found Vehicle settings. If you drill down another couple of levels you'll find Oil Change Minder, which can be reset to various levels of usage...100%, 80%, etc. Choose one and hold down the OK button while it resets. You'll see the progress below. When it's finished, it will indicate so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
