Topic: HOW TO: Change Oil and Filter

[cRc`22]

Hi All,

Its my first post    anyway, just wanna ask the thread starter what happened to the Multi-Information Display after the change oil.   particularly on the periodic maintenance page.  did it reset to "-----" for the km line, and "----"  for the time/month line?  if not, how do you reset the periodic maintenance data?

More power to all.  Thank you

hold down the INFO button til it beeps

What I mean CRC was after the change oil, because I had my car serviced by the dealer last week, and after I got back into the car, on the info display the figures are "----- km" for the mileage and "-- months" for the months.  Then I did the reset myself and the figure changed from "-----" to "15300km" and from "--" to "12 months."  My question is how was/did the figure changed from the previous figures to "----- km" and "-- months" after the change oil.

Thanks mate

Because it was done by the dealer, they reset it for you.

Sorry this is offtopic, but for some reason the link to bring me back to the forums when im here is there but it looks like the color of the word is in white. I don't know what it says, but it looks like 3 words. For example it reads this for me.  4b11lancers.com << Forum <<                                                                      << Maintenance << POST REPLY ( RE: HOW TO: CHANGE OIL AND FILTER )

That's because the text, if you look at it in the forum; it is white. You can still click on the white space and it'll link you to the board. The text overall is just white.

ahh
cuz i go to this one car shop
and they changed it with that...
and i go there cuz its only $20 =D
uhm... if its thicker, does that mean i can run it longer than 3K miles?

[flambouyantdude]

i dont think you want to run more than 3k miles on just regular oil unless you are running AMSOIL

ahhh
isnt mobil 1 10W-40 synthetic?
and isnt it rated for 3-5K miles?

[flambouyantdude]

its synthetic but you can sitll get 5w-20 from mobil 1 too. but to be on the safe side and not risk killing ur car with gunk just stick with 3k and change the oil urself lol
