Hi there, a bit of advice would be great please?
On holiday last year, we had the change engine oil warning. Dived on here and used the ignition, gas and 7 brake pedal pushes to reset it. I know the oil was good having had an oil change only a few months /3,000 miles previously.
So... I learned that there are two resets... One for servicing and one for oil. I didn't do these with the oil change.
So I took the van to a mechanic who possesses a private fessional engine code reader.
We got into it and found an oil change section. However, when we asked it to reset, the tool reported that the van didn't have this facility?
We were able to find out that there was 44,000 km until the next oil change warning... Which equates to 27,350 miles. I have expect we have done about 600 miles since we reset it...
So... Does the pedal procedure actually reset the counter as well as removing the error from the dash. Previous reading wasn't solid on this answer that I could find.
I have found some fiat software... A free version that gives info only, a medium package that does more and a pro setting. I will try and find the link.
What do others use? Do I need to even worry about it?
Thanks for any help
