Section 6 page 20 in the 2011 manual it’s mentioned


Similar to the 2010 manual

I did the button method the first time I did an oil change... Since then I've been using the 3-step boogie... ('07 2.4L)

But it is very odd that Bonez uses the buttons, gets acknowledged, 100% oil life. Then the next time he turns the key on, it's back to 37%.

This is not normal operation, and you can't blame it on dirty or worn buttons.
