- Then press the BRAKE and GAS pedals all the way to the floor at the same time and the service oil reset in progress message will come up
- Continue holding the pedals all the way to the floor for about 20 seconds until it says service oil reset complete

Alright, fellows, I will show you how to reset the oil minder on this Ford E250/E350 through the cluster menu. So all you’ve got to do is:
- Turn on the ignition
Take the key and go to the second position
- Go to the HOLD RESET FOR SETUP MENU screen
Then you use the SELECT/RESET button to you scroll around until you get to the HOLD RESET FOR SETUP MENU
- Press and hold the SELECT/RESET button
Next, hold the SELECT/RESET button down till you’re in there and then it says OIL LIFE HOLD RESET NEW
- Hold down the SELECT/RESET button again
When it says OIL LIFE HOLD RESET NEW, you need to hold it down again and it’s going to cycle through so wait till the oil life gets to 100 and release it
- Start the car
To ensure that the indication has been reset, turn off the ignition and start the engine

- First i’m going to turn the ignition to the on. Not turning the engine completely on but just to the on position
- Then we’re gonna scroll to the left and you’re gonna come to your main menu
- Next, scroll down to where it says DRIVER ASSIST and click OK on that
- Right there we’ll go to where it says MAINTENANCE MONITOR click OK on that again
- At this point you’re gonna hold down the OK button and as you can see the oil life has been reset
