The maintenance reminder on a 2012 Ford Explorer typically appears between 3,000 to 10,000 miles based on driving conditions and engine performance. If you have recently changed the oil (6 quarts of 5W-20 for the 3.5L engine or 5.7 quarts of 5W-30 for the 2L turbo), here's how you can reset the warning light. Turn the ignition to the ON position without starting the vehicle. Navigate to SETTINGS and then CONVENIENCE using the steering wheel controls. Select OIL LIFE RESET and choose 100% to reset the indicator. Turn the ignition off, and the light should stay off until the next service interval.
