3. Once “OIL LIFE SET TO XXX%” is displayed, release and press the
SELECT/RESET stem to change the Oil Life Start Value. Each release
and press will reduce the value by 10%.
FYI On my model (FX4, where you only have ONE button), the instructions published in the Ford manual are not correct. The instructions assume you have the three button trip computer.
For the single button version, when you hold the button waiting for it to reset to 100%, keep holding the stick when it changes (don't release). It will eventually start counting down in 10% decrements. When you see the value you want, release the button.
(PS and off-topic... why does this forum's text editor insist on removing my whitespace (blank lines) I place in my reply for readability? Very annoying that I have to force them in with BR codes)
