OIL LIFE Press the information button until OIL LIFE is displayed. The engine oil life system shows an estimate of the oil's remaining useful life. It will show 100% when the system is reset after an oil change. It will alert you to change your oil on a schedule consistent with your driving conditions. In addition to the engine oil life system monitoring the oil life, additional maintenance is recommended in the Maintenance Schedule in this manual. See Engine Oil on page 5-15 and Scheduled Maintenance on page 6-4. Always reset the engine oil life system after an oil change. See "How to Reset the Engine Oil Life System" under Engine Oil Life System on page 5-20 and "OIL-LIFE RESET" under DIC Vehicle Personalization on page 3-42.
