When i bought the car Dec, i serviced it n the oil was 100%, then it began dropping as i use it, till it drops to about 15% Oil Life, then i serviced it again (that's 3 months + from Dec) .. the Oil Life keeps dropping, it didn't go back to 100%, mechanic did all he can but the oil life remains @ 15%, now it has been dropping and what i see is[b] - 45, B service[/b] .. pls what is this? Note; the gauge is fine when you ever i check, even now |

Very funny op, so how did ur mechanic try to reset the oil life? The person above me is even funnier saying it has to be reset with a system, abeg which kind system be that? Anyway sha some professional scanners can be used to reset oil life, but do we really need that? Follow these simple steps. 1. Turn on ur ignition to on position (do not start the car) 2. Press the reset /select knob (it is on ur instrument cluster) until it shows oil life 3. Hold the reset /select knob for about 15 seconds until the oil life and service indicator starts blinking, then release. 4. Hold the reset/select knob again for like 10 seconds until the maintenance required light (spanner) disappears. 5. Voila, oil life is back to 100%. Do this whenever u change ur oil. 4 Likes 1 Share |
