Turn ignition ON, with engine off.
Fully press and release the accelerator pedal slowly 3 times within five seconds. If the CHANGE ENGINE OIL message flashes, the system is reset.
However, if message stays on, it did not reset. Repeat the procedure.
Turn ignition OFF.
If CHANGE ENGINE OIL message comes back on when engine is started, repeat reset procedure.
