When we are approaching the mileage scheduled for the engine oil change of the Ford Explorer, a reminder appears on the display in the center of the instrumentation to remind us. After completing all the operations provided by the maintenance plan, we proceed to reset the module that handles the notification.

We sit in the driver's seat and turn on the instrumentation, press the Reset button on the tunnel, under the ventilation grilles, and scroll through the menu using the Setup button until we find the one related to the oil duration.

We press Reset until the confirmation message of the reset appears.
