Why did my ford focus 2012 oil change message come on? - 1
The oil was just changed at the dealership service 2000 miles ago a couple months ago.
I don't drive, but I understand that oil should be changed every 3 months or 3000 miles. It's possible that heavy, or light, driving may affect the length of this cycle.
Ask the dealership.Ignore the other advice about oil change periods. In the UK we change our oil at 12,000 miles or annually whichever comes first.
Whoever changed the oil likely didn't reset the sensor…
Sounds like the OLM was not reset.
Oil service light possibly not reset. However not uncommon for some vehicle sot have this come on despite not needing one e.g. Kuga
check out who to reset online. Chug for example if memory serves is you hold down two pedals with ignition on for 60 seconds and message panel says oil service reset! Can't recall what pedals but sure brake is one of them. U tube etc probably has correct version.
Unless you do an extreme amount of idling (like all day) or had the car in for service that involved reprogramming the instrument cluster, probably wasn't reset as it comes on due to driving habits only or one year 10k miles usually… Av is right on reset procedure however

- Why did the change oil light just come on in my car after an oil change? We have a 2016 Ford Escape and we just had the oil changed about 1000 miles ago at a Fox Ford near us. The oil light was not on when we went there and was not on after we left. It just came on now with a message saying that the oil needed to be changed. So what is causing this? I know the light doesn't need to be reset because it was not on before the oil change or afterwards until now.
- Why did my oil light come back on? We have a 2016 Ford Escape and just had the oil changed 1000 miles ago at a Fox Ford near us. Why would the change oil warning come up when we just had it done 1000 miles ago?
