oil change required flashing

Did a search.


2010 flex:
Do my own maintenance and I changed oil for the second time since I bought it used.
I was able to reset the light the first time but now I haven't be able to find the right "'combination " of the info/ reset buttons to turn it off.
Do you know where I can find this "combination" to reset the light?..................Thanks Ron

Hi Ron,

I found the following information on page 21 of the second printing of your Owner's Manual:

To reset the oil monitoring system to 100% after each oil change (approximately 7,500 miles [12,000 km] or 12 months) perform the following:
1. Press and release SETUP to display “OIL LIFE XXX% HOLD RESET = NEW”.
2. Press and hold RESET for two seconds and release to reset the oil life to 100%.

You can download a free digital copy of your Owner's Manual here: https://owner.ford.com/servlet/Conte...OwnerGuidePage Let me know if you have any other questions!
