bramfrank Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 I guess you haven't bothered to read the manual? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Journey_SeXT Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 From your owners manual: Oil Change Required Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil change indicator system. The “Oil Change Required” message will flash in the EVIC display for approximately 10 seconds after a single chime has sounded to indicate the next scheduled oil change interval. The engine oil change indicator system is duty cycle based, which means the engine oil change interval may fluctuate dependent upon your personal driving style. Unless reset, this message will continue to display each time you cycle the ignition to the ON/RUN position. To turn off the message temporarily, press and release the MENU button. To reset the oil change indicator system (after performing the scheduled maintenance), perform the following procedure: 1. Without pressing the brake pedal, push the ENGINE START/STOP button and cycle the ignition to the ON/ RUN position (Do not start the engine.) 2. Fully depress the accelerator pedal, slowly, three times within 10 seconds. 3. Without pressing the brake pedal, push the ENGINE START/STOP button once to return the ignition to the OFF/LOCK position. NOTE: If the indicator message illuminates when you start the vehicle, the oil change indicator system did not reset. If necessary, repeat this procedure.

Journey_SeXT Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 (edited) I guess you haven't bothered to read the manual? Call it spoonfeeding or whatever but I posted it because it is useful info to have in the forum not only for the OP but for any new Journey owner that is reading this thread.

drb227 Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 This procedure has been discussed multiple times on this forum. A simple search (or reading your manual) would have found the info you required, without creating yet another thread about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bramfrank Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 And all you've done by posting this information again is to create a situation where the owner may be missing out on (sometimes) interesting and important information.

redtomatoman Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 And all you've done by posting this information again is to create a situation where the owner may be missing out on (sometimes) interesting and important information. Easy now. The forum is here for information to flow freely. I'm not aware of any written or implied rule that information cannot be repeated on a forum such as this. Just because you've seen it before doesn't mean it shouldn't be repeated in a current thread. Do I agree with RTFM? Yes absolutely. I read mine and managed to miss some stuff. All retorts such as this do is inhibit future questions for fear of being roasted by some forum regular. Peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrlux Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 I agree with redtomatoman. Don't kill the messenger, they were just trying to help. I hope this forum doesn't turn out like so many others where they start off nice and polite and after a while they turn ugly and mean.

Journey_SeXT Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 I posted the info mainly because it brings a quick conclusion to this thread and it is very useful for any DJ owner who uses a google search to get this info....nothing more annoying than trying to google info and read thread with no conclusion. Also, it was a full copy and paste from the manual so really they are now reading the manual just that i will have to flip the pages for them.

bramfrank Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 It brings something only to the original poster, who was too lazy to read his manual and too lazy to use a search engine, since the data was already posted oin this site and (without checking) certainly available elsewhere on the net. Like I wrote in the other thread he posted the same question in - give a man a fish and he has a meal. TEACH a man to fish and he can feed himself forever.

Either way, questioned answered, point made, time to end this show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
