In this guide, we’ll explore the procedure for resetting the oil life indicator on Dodge RAM models 1500, 2500, or 3500. There are two distinct approaches to clearing the oil service reminder on these newer Dodge RAM vehicles.
Approach 1: Manual Reset

- Gently depress the accelerator pedal three times within a span of 10 seconds.
- Switch off the ignition. With push-button ignition, press the «Engine Start/Stop» button once without pressing the brake.

Approach 2: Via the Vehicle’s Integrated Computer System
- Switch the ignition to the «ON/RUN» position. For push-button ignition, simply tap the «Engine Start/Stop» button once without stepping on the brake pedal, and avoid starting the engine.
- Use the «Down Arrow» to scroll to the «Vehicle Information» menu.
- Hit the «Right Arrow» to access the settings.
