Typically, when the mechanic works on your 2018 Ford Focus, they'll take care of resetting the oil life indicator. But if they forget or if you do it yourself when changing the fluid, it's an easy process that only takes a few minutes. Ensure the vehicle is parked with all doors closed. Turn the key in the ignition to the ON position without starting the engine. For cars with a start button, press it once without stepping on the brake pedal. Then press down on both the gas and brake pedals simultaneously and hold them for 25 seconds. You should see the message 'Service: Oil Reset Complete' appear on the display. Release the pedals, turn the ignition off, and verify that the reset was successful by starting the engine and checking if the indicator light has turned off.
My oil indicator is still on and won't turn off.
To turn off the oil light in a 2018 Ford Focus, first get into your car and shut the doors. Next, turn the key to the second position. Then, simultaneously push down on the gas and brake pedals for around 20 seconds until you see a notification confirming the oil light is being reset. A second message will pop up soon after to let you know the reset is finished.
