How to Reset the Oil Change Light on Your Infiniti Q50
Understanding the Oil Change Light
Your Infiniti Q50 displays an oil change light on the dashboard to remind you when it's time for maintenance. This light is part of your vehicle's service reminder system. Once you've had your oil changed, you'll need to reset the light so it can track the next service interval.
Steps to Reset the Oil Change Light
Resetting the oil change light on your Q50 takes just a few minutes. Here's how:
Using the Steering Wheel Controls
- Start your Q50's engine or turn the ignition to the "On" position without starting the engine.
- Use the left arrow button on your steering wheel to navigate to the "Maintenance" or "Settings" menu on your instrument cluster display.
- Press the center select button to enter the menu.
- Look for an option labeled "Oil Change" or "Service Reminder."
- Select this option and look for a "Reset" choice.
- Press the select button to confirm the reset.
- The light should turn off, and your service counter will restart.
What to Do If You're Unsure
If you're having trouble finding the reset option, your Q50's owner manual contains detailed instructions specific to your model year. You can also contact an Infiniti service center for guidance on the process.
When to Reset the Light
Reset the oil change light only after you've had your oil and oil filter changed. Resetting it at any other time will cause the reminder system to lose track of when your next service is due.
