I was amazed and concerned.

I took mine to a Walmart for a basic oil change last week. Gods truth it was in and out "and" the "oil Life" was reset--all faster than i could reset the oil life myself using a darn manual.

I mean not to judge a person by appeareance but i wouldn't trust him any further than i could throw him. I didn't even expect a reset as i had done it myself the last time. Took about a half hour to figure it out.

Next time you want to reset the oil monitor do it the fast easy way
Turn on the key (don't start)
Press the gas peddle to the floor 3 times within 5 seconds
Oil life should now read 100%, turn off key.

My mom had her oil changed at a Walmart. They forgot to put on the oil drain plug and low and behold all the oil drained oil. Before she notice. I motor locked up and that was it. They did pay for her new motor, but she got a new car instead!

What a mess they are!
