So I have the truck listed above eco diesel and I had an oil changed done at the dealership on 1/8/2020 and today my truck says oil change required (0 oil life). I checked the oil with the dip stick and the oil is dirty and black but there's still a lot of oil. I don't know what to do until I can get my truck back to the dealership.

Turn the ignition switch on but don't start the engine. Press and release the accelerator pedal to the floor three times. Turn the ignition switch off. That is one of the procedures for my 2014 Ram. If that doesn't work, I'll research the procedure to reset the reminder for your truck.

Ignition in run, step on throttle all the way to the floor and back up 3 times within 10 seconds. If the message still comes on, try again, some are a bit fussy about the pedal speeds as you push them.
