2008 Chry 300 - automatic oil change monitor - reset?? - 11/22/09 03:43 AM
A couple of months ago we bought a 2008 300 with about 20K miles on it. I tend to be uptight about oil changes, etc. so I changed the oil shortly after we got the car.
It has been about 2k since the oil change and the display put up a message saying take to dealer for an oil change. I know the oil I put in is fine, but the cpu didn't 'know' that I changed the oil.
So I searched online and figured out how to turn the key on and mash the gas 3x to reset the oil indicator [I couldn't look in the owner's manual because I don't have one - long story].
Does anyone know if this same reset procedure will work even if the car is not giving me a message? It would be good if the next time I changed the oil I could reset the indicator to match when I change the oil.
Make sense???
Thanks for any help.
