smcmullan88 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Hi all I got my cars serviced by a friend of mine about 6 months ago. He changed oil, filter but today I got message saying engine oil replacement required. Car is just shy of 50k and I have done about 6k since service. Is this a generic message that comes up after so many miles? Or was this because it hasn't been reset and is approaching the 50k mark?

iantt Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 He probably didn't reset light when oil changed 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 You can reset it but don't rely on the message to change oil as it will assume oil changed now and will then count down. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smcmullan88 Posted June 17, 2016 Author Share Posted June 17, 2016 Just trying to figure out how often it comes on after being reset. Is it 10k or else one year? As it's been nether. Or is there some sort of sensor to tell u when it needs done? Sent from my SM-N910F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan_Tango Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Your handbook will be able to tell you, on mine you hold down brake and accelerator turn the key to pos 2 then wait for the message to clear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 around12k , pcm does a calculation based on various factors and oil change can be earlier 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
