Oil Change Question

Going to change my own oil next week. Do I have to reset the oil indicator display? How?

So, no one has ever changed their own oil?

If it is the oil level measurement display counter, then no, it is merely a measurement. It does not need resetting, as it is just relaying to you, the driver, how much oil is in the system.

it is extremely easy to change oil & filter. But buy a fillter wrench so you will not damage filter housing.
make sure you out a new rubber gasket around filter and a new compression washer under oil plug.
Make sure your jack is stable and wheels are chocked or you may be choked!
