To help keep your
maintenance schedule
on track, your Jeep’s “Oil Change Due” light will illuminate to let you know it’s time to change out the oil. Once this task is completed, the light must be reset—otherwise, it will turn on whenever you start your vehicle.
Here’s a quick and easy guide to how to reset your 2018 Jeep Compass’s Oil Change Due light.

How to reset the Oil Change Due Light on a 2018 Jeep Compass

The Jeep Compass keeps track of the correct interval between oil changes for you—pretty handy, right? However, it’s up to whoever is performing the oil change to reset this light so your Jeep will let you know the next time you need to replace the oil.
To reset the light—and to stop the alert from chiming whenever you turn on your Compass—you’ll need to be parked and be sitting in the driver’s seat. Then, follow these steps to reset the Oil Change Due Light:
  • Press the engine start/stop ignition button until it is in the On/Run position. Do not start the engine. 
  • Slowly push down the gas pedal three times within ten seconds. 
  • Press the engine start/stop button until it is in the Off/Lock position.
Your Oil Change Due Light should now turn off. If the indicator lights up the next time you start your vehicle, you may have to try again.
If the light continues to illuminate, and you’ve checked your oil levels to make sure there is no leak, you may have to call your mechanic to have the light checked out.

If you want to save a little bit on your car ownership costs, you can change your oil yourself! You can find instructions in your
owner’s manual
