Thumbs up The Downs and Ups

*start rant* Some lady didnt wipe down her car it was caked with ice and snow, massive chunk of ice popped off her SUV hood, flew back & hit my hood. i was a good 3 car lengths back too. no real damage a tiny a$$ nic but really, it only takes a minute to clean your vehicle. who cant spare a minute. i know some of you must feel my pain on this topic.

i guess this is more about having courtesy to each other on the road. *end rant*

and also, i love my car. 36 bucks to fill it up when gas is around 1$cdn, get about 550-650kms per tank. also want to say, this site is great. so many positive things to say with many knowledgeable people who share the information Thank you!!!

I would rather not go back to the dealership.

i'm not sure if i remember right, but just go to oil life indicator and hold down that reset stick for like 10 sec or 15 sec or whatever. then the percentage will start blinking, so release the button, and then hold it down again for another whatever seconds until it resets.

or you can just look in your owner manual where it talks about resetting the maintenance minder.

Thanks for your response manxman. I did use the search, however its telling me to wait 30 seconds between searches. i did two searches and said "screw it". ill just make a post. i was expecting a couple of replies saying "use the search button" just as you did. Thanks anyways for your efforts!
