A little help please
I searched for a thread on this but did not find one so sorry if this has been covered. Is there anyway to get rid of the OIL MAINt REQD message that comes on. I'm going to get my car serviced this weekend but I hate this message being on until then. Again, sorry if this info has been posted before. Thanks.

You can find the answer in the tips, tricks thread. In summary:
1. Push the “ODO TRIP” switch in the switch box to
change the display to blank.
2. Turn the engine switch off.
3. Turn the engine switch on with the trip meter “RESET”
switch held down.
4. Keep pushing the “RESET” switch for longer than 7
seconds after the engine switch is turned on.
After the above operation, the master warning light comes
on, a warning tone sounds and the above message
appears to inform you that the engine oil maintenance
data has been reset.
change the display to blank.

I did try that but that resets the "OIL MAINT RESET" warning not the "OIL MAINT REQD" warning. Thanks for your reply though. Perhaps once the oil is changed the light automatically changes from "oil mant reqd" to "oil maint reset".

JWA,
The owners manual says that after the engine oil replacement, reset the engine oil mantenance data and then the "oil maint reset" should appear on display. So, I guess my question now is where does find the oil maintenance data so I can reset it? Thanks.

Also, on your navigation display panel, go into the system maintenace calendar and make sure that data is also reset.

Jwa,
I will try driving the car a few miles and see if that helps. When I push the odo display button to blank you mean that the only thing that showing is my milage...nothing else(temp,etc). If thats the case I did try to reset it by holding down the reset button for 7+seconds after I stared the car and nothing happened(I still got the oil maint req message). Thanks for you help

Thanks...I finally got that dammed light to go away.
