I have about 1600 miles on my car. Should I change my oil at 3500 miles or 3 months?
3 months is coming up really fast.

oohh good question. I certainly hope the dealer reset it. I didn't ask.jfend said:yes, it mentions in the owners manual that under some conditions that an oil change may not be indicated for up to a year. don't think i'll wait nearly that long no matter what it says, but i do wonder if everyone who's already changed their oil have reset the monitoring system?

-I changed it at 500
-I will change it at 1,000
-I will change it at 3,000
-I will change it at 5,000
see any pattern here?You missed a change.
And I wouldn't place much credence in the oil life monitor. If you do, I've got some property in Lake Michigan I'd like to sell you.
It resets the same way as the oil life monitor in the trucks do, just 6704 GTO mentioned, turn the key on, depress the gas pedal 3 times within five seconds. Turn key off.
Not to dispute MXR's expertise, but the owner's manual does say 2 times.CMNTMXR57 said:...turn the key on, depress the gas pedal 3 times within five seconds. Turn key off.
