Press the sel/reset button untill the oil life monitor comes up, hold the sel/reset button for 10 seconds, the oil life will start to blink, press and hold the sel/reset button for 5 seconds to reset the monitor.

Yeah the wrench is your maintenance minder. Your oil life at or below 15%.

Don't reset it until you have changed your oil and don't forget to rtfm.
