How To Reset Oil Change Light On Chrysler Pacifica (2008-2024)
Last Updated on February 29, 2024 by Nick
Hey folks! Today I have a Chrysler Pacifica minivan, and currently, the warning came on; it says we need an oil change. We’ve changed the oil, and now it’s time to reset the oil light in this Chrysler Pacifica. This is my first time doing it, too, so let’s go through it together.
I usually take it to the dealership to have the oil change simply because they do their inspection, I guess, for the warranty and everything. But obviously, with the pandemic and everything stopped that this year. I believe the dealerships are open, but I decided to do it myself. So now we’ll get started here.

There are two different ways we can possibly reset the oil life message on this model years. You can do either or just use the gas pedal or you could have gone to the cluster menu to do it. So let’s go through the first way.

- Then you will step on the ACCELERATOR pedal three times within 10 seconds and the oil life will be reset at 100
With Cluster Menu

Okay, we’re in the 2017 Chrysler Pacifica. We will show you how to reset this oil life through the cluster menu. So the first thing you’re going to have to do is:
- Switch to the RUN position without starting the engine
First, you want to make sure it’s on the RUN mode without the car running by hitting the START button two times
- Go to the VEHICLE INFO
Then you’re going to move to this side of the steering wheel and you’re going to be pushing either up or down and what you’re going to be doing is scrolling through the menu to get to the section where it shows the VEHICLE INFO
- Find the OIL LIFE
Now here it shows you the oil life but if you don’t see it you can scroll left or right to have it on the vehicle information showing OIL LIFE
- Press and hold the OK button
To reset it you just gonna hold the OK button down for a few seconds till it changes to 100% and you’re done
Alternate Method
If these two methods do not solve your problem, try this method.
