Message - Change Oil Soon
I got the "Change Engine Oil Soon" message yesterday. Does anyone know when "soon' is? Is it 100 miles, 1000 miles or what? I can't find anything in the manual.

Ain't it great that these modern techno-wonders can remind us to change their oil?
Schedule your oil change and don't forget to reset the oil life monitor in the information center.
Gotta love these trucks!! Don't worry - be happy!
jammer

I guess I missed this one. The first one I saw said "change oil soon".

I hope it has a least 5,000 miles on it, before it said oil change!

Not all dealers will reset the message (don't know, forgot, whatever) so if you have your dealer do it, reset the message yourself before you drive off; assuming the dealer didn't put a bunch of miles on it.
