With Pedal Method

  • Press the engine start button one time or if you use a key stick the key in the ignition and turn the key to the on position but don’t start the car 
  • 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 
  • You can now lift your feet off the pedals great job you’re done

With Cluster Button

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:

  1. Turn on the ignition

  2. Go to the HOLD RESET FOR SETUP MENU screen

  3. 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 

  4. 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

  5. Start the car

    To ensure that the indication has been reset, turn off the ignition and start the engine
