#1 of 7 2008 Ford Escape oil change by snowxplorer Dec 04, 2008 (4:54 am)
I put in semi-synthetic oil in my 2008 Escape last week, and now the dash board is displaying "5% oil life, change soon".   What did I do wrong and do I need to get another oil change already?

Replying to: snowxplorer (Dec 04, 2008 4:54 am) You do have to re-set the display manually. Replies to this message: vg33e power (Dec 04, 2008 10:13 am)

Replying to: bdyment (Dec 04, 2008 8:27 am) I thought so. Resetting on my previous vehicles (Hondas) has been as easy as holding down the odometer reset button then turning the ignition to ON (but do not start the car and keep holding the button) and in a few seconds it would reset. Maybe 08 Escapes are the same, doesn't hurt to try, unless of course someone knows the exact method.

Replying to: snowxplorer (Dec 04, 2008 4:54 am) i am sure the reset procedure is in the owner's manual.   are we related? Replies to this message: beachdude (Dec 05, 2008 1:22 pm)

Replying to: explorerx4 (Dec 04, 2008 2:49 pm) It's a simple procedure. Once you bring up on the Display the "life of the oil." Press the "reset" button on the lower dash next to the "info" button and you will see 100% "life of the oil."   Been there...done that!
