How to Reset the Oil Change Light on Your Chrysler Town & Country

Understanding the Oil Change Light

Your Chrysler Town & Country has a dashboard light that reminds you when it's time for an oil change. Once you've had your oil changed, this light needs to be reset. If you don't reset it, the light will stay on even though your oil is fresh.

Resetting the light yourself takes just a few minutes and requires no special tools.
