Ok...

Just changed oil for the first time. 4.6L of M1 synthetic...

But after I started her back up...oil life still read 50%.

Did I not do something correctly? Need to reset it manually somehow?

Plz help plz plz plz.

Read the manual.

Go to the Oil Life Meter in your dash. Hold down SEL/RESET until it starts flashing. Hold it down for a further 5-10 seconds, then it will reset.
