Turn the key to "on" but don't start the vehicle. Next press the Setup button. From there read the odometer display & it will guide you how to reset the Oil change light. Usually, you will keep hitting the Setup button until you see the oil status which for most of you is going to be 0%. Next you will be ask to hold the reset button located right next to the setup button on the right side of the steering wheel. Go ahead & hold the reset button until the oil percent changes from 0% to 100%, then you are done.

This subject is covered in your owners manual! Have you read it? If not, do so. If you don't have an owners manual call a local Ford Dealer's Service Department to find out how to do it. The procedure is different for each particular vehicle but usually requires one to turn the Ignition to RUN position without starting the engine and depressing the accelerator pedal a given number of times within a short time frame. Typically X times in 5 seconds or so.
