The display will change to START OIL LIFE AT XXX%.

is the personalized oil reset percentage you desire. Your choices are
100%, 90%, 80%, 70%, 60%, 50%, 40% and 30%.

complete the procedure. Pressing
any control other than RESET or
OIL CHANGE RESET will abort this
procedure and will not establish
your new personalized oil reset

will be used beginning with the
completion of your next OIL
CHANGE RESET procedure.
