Ok fellas I have a concern about the oil change indicator on these here 4th gen Rams. From what I have been told and have read the oil change light comes on when the truck senses the oil needs changed. NOT BY A SET MILEAGE.
However, I beg to differ. I had the oil changed at 7120 miles ( no indicator on ) at the stealer because they offered a free change ( Dino oil ). THE NEXT DAY the oil change message came up and I took it back and the dealer reset it.
My second oil change happened at 13100 miles. I changed it myself and went synthetic. Again there was no indicator on. Now at 15,200 miles the oil change message came up? WHAT GIVES??
It seems to me it's set at 7500 to 8000 mile intervals and it's not measuring viscosity or whatever its supposedly measuring.
Anyway how do I reset the message? Turn key on and pump gas pedal 3 times?? Something like tht right??
