Oil Change Required Reset

2016 F250 6.7L Diesel. I have done this before but this time it is not working. Alert has been on for maybe a month. Changed the oil and filter. Turned the key "on", pressed the brake and gas together and nothing! Is there another "diesel engine" procedure I have forgotten about or what?

You have to go into the settings and reset it manually... I'll go out to my truck and take pics... I actually forget right this minute what to do.

From the owners manual of my 2012, yours may be different

OIL LIFE

This displays the remaining oil life.

An oil change is required whenever indicated by the message center and according to the recommended maintenance schedule.

To reset the oil monitoring system to 100% after each oil change, perform the following:

1. Press and release the SETUP button to display “OIL LIFE XXX% HOLD RESET = NEW”.

2. Press and hold the RESET button for two seconds and release to reset the oil life to 100%.

Note: To change oil life 100% value (if equipped with this feature) to another value, proceed to Step 3.

3. Once “OIL LIFE SET TO XXX%” is displayed, release and press the RESET button to change the oil life start value. Each release and press will reduce the value by 10%.
