Default oil change

Just a quick question. My car doesn't have a sticker for when it needs another oil change. Does the center display tell me when I need one? Just want to make sure I dont miss it

Depends on the engine, what year it was made, and what oil your running. If your running conventional oil then every 3k is a must. Full synthetic you can get away with 5k intervals.
If you have been getting it serviced by the dealer they set the intervals at 10k which i don't recommend.

your center display will show "oil change" or "service inspection".

You can manually re-set it by pressing and holding the right **** on the cluster, turn the key to the on position, then while still holding theright **** down push theleft **** in and you should see the cluster change to either 10000 or you will see -----.
