How to reset oil change required in 2005 Mercury Mountaineer?

I changed the oil, but still the message is there. how can i remove it.How to reset oil change required in 2005 Mercury Mountaineer?two different ways...



look in the owners manual to be sure but....



there is three buttons for the message center.. hit I think it's the middle one to get it to come up with a vehicle check.. one of the first items it checks is the oil.. when it comes up hit the reset button, it will ask if the oil is being changed, even though it says to hold rest, let your finger off for a split second and then hold the reset again and it should reset it



it's harder to say than do



the other is without the three buttons is to cycle the trip/odometer button on the dash until it says oil change and hold it in till it resets



A swing by the dealer may have someone willing to show you easier than me trying to explain it to you.How to reset oil change required in 2005 Mercury Mountaineer?There should be a digital gauge in or around where the oil goes. This should tell the dashboard to, in turn, tell you that you need to change oil. That might need to be replaced. I no expert, but i do know a little. A good rule of thumb for oil is every 5000 or so miles, or 3 months i believeHow to reset oil change required in 2005 Mercury Mountaineer?This is a delership's gimmic.



Unless you have a code reader, you may have to take a trip to the dealership and pay $40 to have them turn it off.



Sorry.
