cut & paste from my pdf manual:
To reset the oil change indicator system (after performing the scheduled maintenance), refer to the following procedure:
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position (do not start the engine).
2. Fully depress the accelerator pedal slowly three times within 10 seconds.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF/LOCK position.

Hummm. Thought I tried that. Thanks, I'll try again. Sorry but I searched and could not find any old threads with the info.
Looks like I only have a Users Guide that has 152 pages. Must be another boos somewhere?

Depending on your setup, you can also clear it with the steering wheel controls.
