Best Answer

In the units computer an algorithm is in operation looking at hours of engine operation, engine temperatures, speeds etc. From the sensor inputs the system calculates when to tell you to change the oil. The frequency of service depends on how many short trips are taken versus long trips and other combined sensor inputs. Once the car is serviced, turn the key on (do NOT start the engine), depress the gas pedal to the floor three times and the computer will be reset. If the light does not reset, repeat the procedure. Again do not start the engine as flooring the accelerator will race the engine and damage could occur.
