How to Reset the Oil Light on a Ford F-250

Model: Ford F-250 P473 - Years 2011-2016
Part: Service warning light

Inside the oil reservoir, there is a small sensor that automatically reads the amount of fluid present. This is a very useful and convenient feature that allows you to top off the oil in a timely manner. However, sometimes it may report incorrect data, causing the warning light to appear on the dashboard. To resolve this issue, simply reset the reading data. Insert the key and turn on the ignition. Then press the "ok" button located to the left of the steering wheel and navigate through the menu using the arrow buttons. Go to "settings" and then to "vehicle." At this point, find the "reset oil" option and hold the "ok" button for a few seconds. The reset is complete.
