How to Reset the Change Oil Alert on a Jeep JK
by Leonardo R. GrabkowskiThe third-generation Jeep Wrangler model, known as "JK" by the digits in its Vehicle Identification Number, made its debut for the 2007 model-year. The Jeep JK was not originally equipped with a service reminder, or oil change alert. However, Jeep introduced the feature for the 2008 model-year. The "Change Oil" alert is likely to come on approximately every 3000 miles. Changing the oil will not reset or turn off the alert; it must be manually reset.
Step 1
Put your Jeep in "Park" and turn off the engine.
Step 2
Turn the ignition to the "On" notch, without starting the engine.
Step 3
Push the gas pedal to the floor three times (within ten seconds).
Step 4
Turn the ignition to "Off," and then start the engine to verify that the alert is turned off.
