Resetting the ‘Service Oil’ reminder on the Ford Mondeo is easy to do yourself and it doesn’t require any tools. The instructions here apply to the Ford Mondeo MK4 which was manufactured from 2007 to 2014.
What does the ‘Service oil’ text accompanied by the wrench symbol mean? When your Ford Mondeo shows this text it means that it’s time to have your oil and oil filter changed. Typically the service schedule recommends changing the oil every 12 000 miles / 20 000 km or every 12 months – whichever comes sooner.
Here are the steps for resetting:
- Get in the car and close all the doors
- Press both the accelerator and brake pedals down
- Turn the key in the ignition without starting the car
- Keep holding the pedals until you see a notification saying ‘Service: Oil reset complete’
- Press ok on the steering wheels button
- Turn ignition off and take your feet off the pedals
