Does anyone know how to reset the oil warning message? Irecently bought a 2006 Explorer. The change oil warning came on the other day. After two days, and a stern "oil change required" warning I changed the oil. I tried disconnecting the battery but no help. None of my past Expeditions had this warning.
Thanks.

 

To reset the oil monitoring system to 100% after each oil change

[approximately 5,000 miles (8,000 km) or 180 days] perform the

following:

1. Enter SYSTEM CHECK to display

“HOLD RESET IF NEW OIL”.

2. Press and hold the RESET

control switch for more than 2

seconds. Oil life is set to 100% and

“OIL LIFE SET TO 100%” is

displayed.

Note:

To change oil life 100% miles value from 5,000 miles (8,000 km)

or 180 days to another value, refer to the

Oil Life Start Value selected

from the SETUP MENU in this section.

 

Thank you, that worked perfect. My Haynes manual should arrive soon.
