change oil message!!!!
so after about 2,000 miles my new jk told me to change my oil, so i did. but the message still tells me to change it every time i start my jeep up. does anyone know how to turn this message off?

There is a way to turn it off...
But, I think you have a sensor problem. Go back to the dealer! |
it doesnt shut off automatically after you change the oil
from page 207 of owners manual Turn the ignition switch to the ON position (Do not start the engine). 2. Fully depress the accelerator pedal slowly three times within 10 seconds. 3. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF/LOCK position NOTE: If the indicator message illuminates when you start the vehicle, the oil change indicator system did not reset. If necessary repeat this procedure you can download a searchable pdf version of the owners manual on jeep.com http://www.jeep.com/en/owners/manuals/index.html |
I've had the light come on twice (both times I was overdue for an oil change), and both times, the light went out (on it's own) after the change...
Obviously try to turn it off by the directions, but if it keeps coming back with a fresh filter and oil, you've got a sensor problem... |
Can you reset it if you change the oil before the light comes on? I did the procedure once when I had changed the oil early and it came on a couple thousand miles later. It then successfully reset.
I wish it was like my GM oil life monitor in my Solstice. It tells you the percentage of oil life left. |
Yes you can reset it at any time you want.
I have. Just as stated above. Turn key to "on" position, depress gas pedal three times and then turn key off, That all it takes. The JK estimates the need to change the oil based on engine data but doesn't have a sensor that tells when the oil is dirty or lost its viscosity. Bill |

I'm glad I've got a 2007 - what with all these TPSM's and Oil Change sensors (if they exist) - I'd be pulling over every 10 minutes. I know what my "Nitrogen" pressure is and I change my Oil "Synthetically" every 3000 miles . My JK never beeps at me.

I regret the day that I sold my '81 CJ7. But still love my JK.
