You can completely clear the Service light on a Ford Explorer by turning on the ignition after inserting the key into the ignition switch: once the dashboard is lit, you can navigate the menu that appears on the instrument panel. Select the "Settings" option and then "Vehicle": at this point, you can choose the "Oil life reset" option and hold down the OK button located on the left side of the steering wheel.

This will clear the light from the dashboard, which can then be turned off.
