Oil Change

i need to get an oil change.
the dealer charges 75 dollars to do it and only 20 if you bring your own oil.

if i wanted to change it my self is there a procedure to reset the milage thing on the screen in the gauge cluster??

check the manual to confirm, but i think you just have to go the maintenance screen while the engine is off and hold down the menu button to reset.

I did that, and the display went from "5 months / 4000 miles" to "10 months / 9000 miles"... WTF? I followed what the owners manual said to do, and this was the result!

Well .. I have a selection of mileage to choose from and none is the one I want .. so set mine to display none in the end

with engine off .. press and hold (~2sec) 3 times
then press 3 times quick succession to get to the selection menu ..
think it cycles JPN10/11/20/21/30/40 NAS10/11/20/21 EUR AUS GPP OPTION OFF

****! $75!

Change the oil yourself and go to the dealer and have them reset it if you can't figure it out. We've had people do that at my job. It takes 3 second, we never charge them.

Since this is some of the routine maintenance in the book, how do you get the stamp if you do it yourself??
