So I just did my oil change but I dint know how to reset my oil change light! It keeps popping up as "periodic maintenance" with a wrench everytime I start my car!?!? Is it suppose to reset itself or??? or is the "periodic maintenance" because of something else?? Can someone help please!!!

 

With the car turned off, push the "Info" button located on the right side of the steering colunm until the wrench with "Periodic Maintenance" shows up. Once that is showing, Hold the "Info" button until it resets.

 

Thanx!!!!!!

 

You can always refer to the owners manual for simple things like this.

 

 

I actually had my "wrench" light turned off. I keep track of everything in the MMCS navi.

 

You mean those things tell you stuff about the car....?? who woulda thunk it

 

I did have a "certified" Mitsu tech tell me I needed the "computer" to reset the maintenance light once.

I dont go to that place anymore.

 

Holy crap. That is sad.

 

In the defense of the mechanic, you need the computer to change the maintenance interval. Er... that's not what you were asking. Stupid techs like that give all dealerships a bad name.

 

Actually, you can use just the info button to reset the reminder and change the service interval.. it's probably just more of a pain than using their tool.

My dealership doesn't even bother to reset mine using either method.. I honestly don't think they even know about the feature. They just slap on a handwritten sticker with next service date/mileage (and even that doesn't match the recommended service intervals, lol).

How do you change the intervals with the info button? is it in the manual? I tried looking for it but couldnt find anything. Maybe I'm just blind.. help

 

Ya, I don't think it's in the owner's manual, just the service manual..

..just follow the instructions under "how to set the schedule"

Though, I'd highly recommend just doing the regular reset as needed, cuz the North American 5,000-mile / 5-month interval seems to be the most appropriate interval setting available.. and for some reason, even after changing the schedule and doing a reset, the following interval still seems to be an odd combination of remaining months plus additional miles / time til next service.

 

Anyone else find this confusing?

 

This. It's amazing how many people never look at the thing.
