The service light turns on when you have driven a high number of miles and the engine oil is therefore exhausted. When you see it on your dashboard, you need to perform a complete oil and filter change, and only then can you reset it. But how do you reset this light on the Ford Escape? The video shows us. After turning on the ignition, use the three buttons located at the bottom left to navigate through the menu options until you reach the one that says "oil life reset" and select it. Once here, simply press and hold the button indicated in the video until the value returns to 100%.
