6.7L Cummins Forum

Hi All: I'm heading out on a 4-5000 mile round trip and want to change oil before I go. Truck isn't due for a change yet. When I change the oil is there any way to signal the processor and the EVIC to start a new oil change cycle so that I don't get a prompt in another couple thousand miles. I didn't see anything about this scenario in the owners manual. Dave

To reset oil life monitor, turn key to ON position but do not start....all your dash lights should be on ( mine is two clicks forward from when the key is inserted) With the key in the ON position, and the truck not running, depress the gas pedal 3 times to the floor, and then shut the key off. This should reset your oil life monitor. It is listed in the manual, but I dont know what page.

Good luck

Thanks Smith449: I read that in the manual but didn't know if it would reset after a short oil change period when the reminder on the overhead had not yet come on. I would like to see if I can syncronize the reminder after a short oil change cycle. Thanks Dave

It won't reset unless it's showing and it should not be trusted. I went 13,000 miles one time before it came on.

Thanks Squid: I kinda thought that would be the case. I think you are right about not trusting it. I'll just do what I've done for 40 years, that hasn't let me down yet. I'll use the overhead reminder as a safety valve. Thanks Dave

Not a problem. I have to admit I was more then a little disappointed it didn't work since I have a fleet of vehicles to maintain.

Oh well, that's why they have trip meters, smart phones or old school pen and paper. HAHAHA
