oil change reset
I have a 2009 FX4 and have recently encountered a nusance item. After my last oil change I began to recieve oil change needed message in my info center display after less than 2000 miles on the oil change. I questioned my dealer service advisor on it and got the dumb look. Anyone know the procedure to reset this? Can you vary the length of the change interval?

Usually your owners manual will give the procedure to reset the Oil Change indication,.If you dont have one I would try "Googling" it,and youll probably find the answer.
Concerning changing the interval,I dont think you can.
The wifes 02 Impala(yeah...I know,its a cheby) is factory set at 7500 miles.I change the oil every 3000....It is indeed a nuisance,but according to the FSM for it,the interval is "set in stone"

There is a way you can change the interval. IIRC it is set for 7500 miles, but you can do a % of that in the menu for less miles. I believe this procedure is in the owners manual as well. I had the same issue with my one free oil change from the dealership, they didn't reset the interval. You would think they would be on top of something like that.
