The change oil message is displayed on the dash of my 2016 Holden Trax. We have had the oil changed at a different garage to the one that usually services our car, and the change-oil message is still displayed. We have tried to get rid of the message ourselves but cannot. What can we do?
A lot of workshops that aren’t too familiar with a certain make and model will often neglect this little detail, mainly because they either forget or don’t know how to cancel it. The good news, it’s a pretty simple procedure.
Switch the ignition on but don’t start the engine. Then, press the little black button inside the tachometer (just above the 'RPM' symbol) until the oil-can symbol appears. Then, hold the same button for a few seconds until you hear a beep and the number next to the oil can changes to 100 (per cent). That’s it, you’re done.
