Why did my ford focus 2012 oil change message come on?
The oil was just changed at the dealership service 2000 miles ago a couple months ago.
It came on because nobody reset it when the oil was changed. Try reading the manual.
Double check your manual for details. I think that is a reminder light that comes on base on miles driven since last reset, ie it is not a sensor. Make sure it is not the low oil warning light.
Dealer most likely forgot to reset it. Manual or online you can find out how to reset it yourself.
Warning message Low Oil
Low oil means you need to check and TOP UP the oil. It is not a service needed. Ignore this and you can seriously damage your engine.
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?
