After changing the engine oil, reset the system by performing the following steps: 1. With the engine off, turn the ignition key to RUN. 2. Fully press and release the accelerator pedal slowly three times within five seconds. 3. Turn the key to OFF, then start the vehicle. If the light or message comes back on when you start your vehicle, the oil life system has not reset. Repeat the procedure. Engine Air Cleaner/Filter What to Do with Used Oil Used engine oil contains certain elements that may be unhealthy for your skin and could even cause cancer. Do not let used oil stay on your skin for very long. Clean your skin and nails with soap and water, or a good hand cleaner. Wash or properly dispose of clothing or rags containing used engine oil. See the manufacturer's warnings about the use and disposal of oil products. Used oil can be a threat to the environment. If you change your own oil, be sure to drain all the oil from the filter before disposal. Never dispose of oil by putting it in the trash, pouring it on the ground, into sewers, or into streams or bodies of water. Instead, recycle it by taking it to a place that collects used oil. If you have a problem properly disposing of used oil, ask your dealer, a service station or a local recycling center for help. 3.6L V6 engine shown, 3.8L V6 engine similar The engine air cleaner/filter is located in the engine compartment on the driver's side of the vehicle.
