I change my own oil, and am able to reset the oil life back to the 100%, however the oil change required msg still apears on the msg center. How do I reset this.

I found that oil change reset procedure wasnt that clear, and that the driver info/message center in the instrument cluster had different wording. To reset- press trip/reset button on the i/p cluster, " goto setup menu hold reset" will appear. Then hold trip/reset button and release. Then it will display " system check hold reset"- press and hold trip reset, dont release- will display- "hold reset if new oil", then release. Turn ignition off for approx 5 secs- turn ignition back on to verify reset with no messages.
