Today's vehicles have computers that assist with maintenance by reminding the driver of service operations when the preset mileage is reached.

To reset the computer after an oil change, turn on the ignition while holding down the left button on the computer until the display flashes. Press the right button and release it when the word "reset" appears, then release the left button for two seconds and press it again. The computer has been reset. Turn off the ignition and turn it back on to verify the operation.
