Oil Reminder after just 1,100 miles

Recommended Posts

My "Oil Reminder" light goes on when I start my 2017 V8 (after owning less than 2 months) and just 1,100 miles.  Anyone else have a similar problem?   The oil monitor digital display shows around 40-45% of the horizontal bar full.

You can reset the light reminder on earlier models, I would assume you have to be able to do that as well on the 2017 in case you do your own oil changes or somebody besides Nissan does them.  Maybe it was set weird at the factory or dealership on delivery.  You can change the reminder interval mileage for oil change, filter and rotation with at least the 2015 models...  

 

I do not have a "oil monitor digital display".  Are you sure that is not one of the temp gauges?  I wasnt aware there was an oil life monitor.  We do have several temp gauges we can cycle through.

We have an early 2012 model and the gauge shows oil temp. The oil or service reminder can be reset, if not by you then by the dealer.

 

Since these are commercial vehicles, the service reminder and road use time may be important to fleet managers. I've never reset the use time and have not had the service reminder come on.

 

There are some who would change the oil at this point and every 3000 mi/1800 k (?) thereafter. If so, good time to put synthetic in.

 

This reminds me of the old egr light that was mileage based. Our VWs had a button under the front bumper you could push to reset.

Thanks.  Indeed the light had been set to go off at just 500 miles.   I was probably just misreading the gauge as applying to pressure or amount.  -Thanks

Thanks.  All good now with the oil gauge.  Although I'm starting to get the infamous "roar sound" that the 2017 V8s are getting.  Sounds like a fire breathing dragon mating with a schoolbus.  Seems to be some loss of acceleration too.  Might have to take her in again anyway...
