How to change or turn off Oil Interval settings (VID)
Hey Guys and Gals..Apparently there's alot of people who don't know how to change/turn off the oil interval/reminder on their Evo X and there isn't any video on how to do it atleast none that I can find.. anyways I made this video to help those in need so it'll save you a time or worst.. trip to the dealer.
Here's a link to the video:
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Key on "Lock" position
2. Press "Info" button until oil interval/service reminder pops up
3. Press and hold the "Info" button until beep is heard.. do this 4 times until the option screen pops up
4. Once option screen pops press "Info" button 3 times fast until blinking then select to which ever option you desire. (If menu goes back to main oil interval setting it means you didn't press it fast enough so you must start over.
Hope this helps

Ok, thanks for this. It's actually working very well, all the different settings.
Do you know how to enter "Option" and change settings there?
And how can I reset oil change for real? Only with MUT-III?
When I choose e.g. EU 11, it should state 7k5 km (5k miles) and 6 months, but it doesn't because the oil change done for real is not known to this stupid display / ECU... And the language is odd as well. Seems to be German... How can I change that (as well)?
EDIT: This "computer" is really a simple one...
Just follow the procedures above. If you change the type of service interval reminder, you must reset the maintenance reminder every time. Otherwise it just sums up all the changes you've done to something like 19 months and 22'000km or so. Stupid thing! Switch it off!

Looks like the values can easily be changed with a tool. Also not sure which year this manual is specifically for, so factory options could be different.
But I think you can just set each option, then back out to the main screen and it will tell you what intervals it's configured with. Would take a lot of time but doable.
