Mark-UK Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 It should be in the dash menu, I say should because mine was, but took it in for recall/update over oil life warning on diesel engines, and the oil life has been remove from the menus. Will ask them to put it back at the next service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murat123 Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 You can do it via the FordPass app or in the car if you go on the information menu within the dash, it shows you oil life, go to it press ok and once it shows you the value, hold the ok button and it will be reset.

Once you open the fordpass app, (I'm assuming you have already linked your phone to your vehicle), go to the vehicle details section and wait a little. It will load up all the details i.e. the location, mileage etc. You would see it showing you the oil life in percentages, tap on it and you can reset it from there.

DaveG1975 Posted April 7, 2020 Author Share Posted April 7, 2020 Still can’t find anywhere to reset the oil life it’s not in the settings of the car and it’s not in the ford pass app either any other ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Heaton Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 So you haven't got it under Settings, Information, oil Life? That's odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I can understand that but the car is 2019. Surely he is not doing his own service on a car under warranty? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveG1975 Posted April 7, 2020 Author Share Posted April 7, 2020 No I’m not I just had it serviced at a ford dealership about 3 weeks ago and the oil life came on at the weekend like I say nothing in the he settings and ford pass app it’s a focus vignale diesel if that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you had initially said that, then resetting would be ok. It's just the reset has been removed as folk see the option to reset in the menu then reset and continue to drive , not get oil changed. The effect of this is the engine can go pop after a while. Ford now monitor resets via the app and or check resets if there's an engine warranty claim. Resets should co-inside with proof of oil change. If not then warranty may not pay a claim. You resetting it after 3 weeks will be ok though. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy Heaton Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 They could solve all this by not having strange fixed 18k service intervals that don't coincide with oil changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neutron2k Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Probably under the service menu. From cold engine, press and hold the OK button on the steering wheel. Then turn on the ignition. Hold OK until an E appears in the top of the cluster display. Will give you technitians menu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unofix Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Ford dealer reset only for newer models now. Or you can use FORScan and a vLinker FS cable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do they class as newer models? my car had it's first service last year and they reset oil life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unofix Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Difficult to give an exact answer. Some models for example 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 originally had the ability for the owner to reset the oil Life indicator. Many of those vehicles no longer have that ability after a software update performed by the Ford dealer while in for a service. This means that either the reset has to be performed by a Ford dealer or you have to use the FORScan software to reset it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
