How to Reset the Oil Life System

After changing the engine oil, the Oil Life System
should be reset. It will not reset itself. To reset the Oil
Life System, press and hold the RESET button on the
DIC for more than five seconds while OIL LIFE INDEX
is being displayed. The oil life will change to 100%.

What to Do with Used Oil

Did you know that used engine oil contains certain
elements that may be unhealthy for your skin and could
even cause cancer? Don’t let used oil stay on your skin
for very long. Clean your skin and nails with soap and
water, or a good hand cleaner. Wash or properly throw
away clothing or rags containing used engine oil. 
(See the manufacturer’s warnings about the use and
disposal of oil products.)

Used oil can be a real threat to the environment. If you
change your own oil, be sure to drain all free

from the filter before disposal. Don’t ever dispose of oil
by putting it in the trash, pouring it on the ground, into
sewers, or into streams or bodies of water. Instead,
recycle it by taking it to a place that collects used oil. 
If you have a problem properly disposing of your used
oil, ask your dealer, a service station or a local recycling
center for help.

Engine Air Cleaner/Filter

The air cleaner and filter are located on the driver’s side
of the engine compartment.
