I have had that happen on my 2500 - I did the reset a few times and once I drove it around a bit and it finally refreshed. Might just be slow to reset?

For future ref, there is a video on Youtube showing you how to do it ... I have to call it up every 3 years or so ... Something with the key, and hitting the gas pedal 3 times ... It’s the same procedure the dealer uses

In case someone come looking for the answer:

Place the ignition in the “ON/RUN” position. Do not start the engine.

Push the accelerator pedal slowly 3 times within a 10 second interval.

Turn the ignition off.

When you start the vehicle again, the Oil Life will be reset.


Trucks with the 7" EVIC can reset it through the dash.

I have never gone much over 4000 miles changing oil on my own vehicles. When I 1st started driving, and when I did my 1st engine rebuild around 1987, I was changing oil every 2000. Just because.
