Default thanks smart one

i guess i should have worded the question differently. is that service light set to go off at a standard mileage reading? mine was at 57k. or is there actually a problem, and the car needs to be serviced?

Manual says how to reset it. It's just defined intervals. If there really is a problem, CEL

When is the last time you did an oil change? It's telling you time for one basically.

Default you can reset that.

hold the left button down, turn the key to the on position, keep holding the left button down, and then press the right button (buttons refer to the 2 located on the instrument cluster.
