Why is my Fiat 500 oil light still on?
I went to Jiffy Lube when my oil change light came on, and after pulling out I realized they hadn’t reset it. The good news is you can do it yourself.
How to reset the oil change light
- Put the key in and turn it to accessory power on. Don’t start the car.
- You’ll see the oil change acknowledgement on the screen.
- Press the accelerator pedal to the floor 3 times in fairly rapid succession.
- The light goes out. Turn the car off.
Check that it worked
Start the car normally. The little service triangle and the oil change warning should be gone. That’s all it takes.
