Anyone know the sequence to turn off the light lol
thanks in advance

 

Preferred method (to avoid embarassment)
1. Open glove compartment
2. Find strange sized paperback provided with vehicle
3. Confirm it has Ford F150 Owner's Manual written on the front
4. Skim book for relevant topic
5. Follow instructions

















Alternate method (to encourage harassment)
Depending on your truck (thanks for all the information by the way), it's on page 91 or 103.

Oops, too late, you have already selected the alternate method...

 

sigh lol ok well deserved but cant find the dam thing lol

That looks way harder than just looking at the oil change reminder sticker in the corner of the windshield and replacing when you do an oil change. And it doesn't even tell you what kind of oil you're using. LOL

 

Thanks for the info. I'm in my work van and the mechanics never reset the light and for some reason they take the owners manuals out of the vans when they first get them in.

 

Oh Mr Charlie I would have been surprised if you didn't respond to this one!

 

It's actually pretty easy once you do it.

It looks complex on paper, but it's not.

 

I have a 2012 F150 XL. The procedures mentioned above don't apply to my model (I don't have a message center, just a 2 line LED readout), and there is nothing in the owner's manual about resetting the "oil change required" message.

Any help would be appreciated.

 

(owner's manual) Don't have one -OR- would like a digital, searchable desktop document?.

 

Mr Charlie hasn't been around in a few years, anybody know what happened to him? Big Tim, any info? I had messaged him a few times over the last few years and no reply
