I need help, one light left

[edioutlaw02]

One green bar left at start up. What does this mean? In december i had a full list.

Anybody have an idea to what i should do?

The green bars indicate oil life. When you are down to yellow, you should change the oil and reset the light.

oh whew.

I changed the oil 4 days ago...how do i reset the light?

[allamer35]

Press and hold the trip meter button and turn the ignition key to accessory position. Hold for 5 secs until you see "Reset" appear. Release and immediately press and hold again for another 5 secs until "Reset" flashes. Release and press again and green bars should reset to 5 bars.

Pretty easy. Ive done it once.

awesome. thanks a lot man.

I'm also getting really bad vibrations at start up. it starts idling from 1k then drops to .75k and the vibrations stop.

this happens during the day when the car is warmed up too...any ideas?
