Once you've changed the oil in your 2018 Chrysler Pacifica, you'll need to reset the service light. It's a quick process that doesn't require any tools. Start by parking the vehicle with all doors closed. Turn the ignition to the RUN position (just before starting the engine). Use the up and down arrow buttons on the left side of the steering wheel controls to locate the VEHICLE INFO menu. Navigate to the OIL LIFE option using the right arrow button. Once you've found it, press the OK button in the same control cluster to reset the oil life to 100%. Turn the ignition off and then start the engine to confirm that the reset has been successfully completed and saved.
To start, insert the key into the ignition and turn it without starting the car. If you have a push button start, press the button twice. Remember not to touch the brake pedal during this process. Next, fully depress the accelerator three times within ten seconds. Another option is to turn the ignition without starting the car, then navigate to the steering wheel menu and select "oil life." Scroll left until you reach "vehicle life" and confirm your selection.
It's possible that there has been a change - starting from today, March 10th, 2024, our 2018 Pacifica hybrid needs to be completely activated (Brake + ignition) and in Park in order to reset the oil life. The same screen and prompt to "Hold OK to reset oil life" will appear, but holding OK will only reset the oil life once all systems are online and prepared for driving.
