how do we reset the oil change required lamp on the overhead console.

 

Let's see, off the top of my head, you turn the ignition on and press the accelerator three times within 10 seconds then turn off the ignition. It is in your manual.

 

That's the drill. Just did it on mine last week.

 

If you had an 07 like me, you wouldn't ever have to as it never posts any service messages!

 

.....and if you do like a few of my "in the dark" customers do you will ignore the reminder and simply re-set it and go with a 7500 mile oil change schedule and then wonder why the oil pan overfilled when the changed their own oil at home. sooty black 6.7 oil is REALLY fun to clean up I hear!

 

Or you could do the really smart thing and dump the garbage that Dodge put on the truck, never have to wworry about regens, bad fuel milage check engine lights OR making it's own oil and spilling the stuff all over the driveway HAHAHAHA!!!

BTW, just changed the oil in my truck 2K miles ago and checked it last night, axactly the same amount as when I filled it and it is such a nice golden brown color! No black oil for me

Does that work on a 2007? they keep forgetting to reset it at the dealer.

 

Yes, it works on '07.

 

Do all the 6.7's have the reminder light or only the laramie, etc... at how many miles do you all usually change the oil? My truck has 200 miles on it now when should I do the first one?

Thanks

 

I would do the first one @ 500 miles. IMHO

 

If you've got an overhead display in your truck, it will show the oil change required message. I changed my oil the first time at 2K miles, then again at 6K miles, 10K miles, 15K, 20K, 25K, 30K, 35K, 40K, and 50K. 500 miles is a bit paranoid I think. Shoot, alot of people buy their trucks out of state and put more miles on that just driving it home from the dealership.
