To reset the oil light on a 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander, press the INFO button located at the bottom left side of the information cluster to make the wrench spanner icon flash and CLEAR appears on the dash.

Your Outlander’s oil change service light is your friendly reminder that it is time to change the engine oil, but when you complete the service, it won’t turn off on its own. Unless you get your engine oil changed by a professional and the technician resets the engine oil service light for you, you’ll need to go into your vehicle setting to perform the reset.

How to reset the engine oil maintenance light on a 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander

The Mitsubishi Outlander mileage-based maintenance reminder system helps you stick to your car’s

regular maintenance schedule

, but it’ll need to be reset after each oil change to track the correct mileage between oil changes. Instead of being reminded to change the engine oil in your Outlander, you’ll be left asking yourself the question: when should I change my oil?

The engine oil life reset process on a 2015 Outlander is relatively simple. You’ll use the INFO button located on the outer left edge of the information cluster to navigate through vehicle settings. Here’s how to do that:

Insert your key into the ignition to turn your vehicle’s power on without starting the engine. That’s the accessory mode.

Push the INFO button on the outer left edge of the information cluster repeatedly until the wrench spanner icon displays on your dash.

Press and hold the INFO button to make the wrench spanner icon flash.

Release the INFO button then press and hold until you see CLEAR in red.

Start your car’s engine to confirm the engine oil life indicator has been reset.

The engine oil life display should reset after completing these steps. Now the oil service light will come back when it's time for your next oil change to remind you to replace your engine oil and filter.

How often does a 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander need an oil change?

Mitsubishi recommends using full synthetic motor oil and changing the oil in your 2015 Outlander every 7,500 miles or six months—whichever comes first! Regular oil maintenance keeps the oil free of contaminants that can

damage your engine

and your Outlander running. That’s why it’s one of the most important maintenance tasks an Outlander owner can perform.

Your

will walk you through how to replace your engine oil and oil filter at home to save money. You’ll eliminate around $100 in labor costs by performing this service yourself, but you’ll have to reset the maintenance reminder system yourself.

Luckily, resetting the oil light at home is simple and you’ll just have to follow the steps laid out above to do so. If it doesn't reset, you should take your Outlander to a repair shop or Mitsubishi dealership for a professional maintenance reminder system reset.
