When I signed onto the phone app today, there was a 'you have 1 new message' displayed on the home screen. I checked the messages and there was '0% Oil Life Alert' message sent on 09/30/2016 which is the last time I drove the car. I checked the Vehicle status screen and it shows oil life remaining as 84%......so why did I receive the 0% oil life alert? Has anyone else had this happen?

Yes....I just had the oil changed at the dealer. When I checked the app right after it said 50% remaining.

 

[countryguy]

After the oil was changed did the dealer or you reset the oil life remaining indicator? If it says 50% then it sounds like it has not been reset. That is not quite the issue I have. The oil life remaining indicator on the dash display and on the phone app says 84% but for some reason the message was sent to the phone that it was 0%.

 

[Bob Evans]

Didn't know that I had to reset after oil change.

 

[countryguy]

The dealer should do it but if they didn't, then you can do it.

Didn't know that I had to reset after oil change.

I always check after an oil change just to make sure they reset it....it should be at 100% with fresh new oil AFTER they reset it. I'm actually due for one, might call them at 7am tomorrow, they are always pretty flexible.

 

[Bob Evans]

How do I reset ????

 

[countryguy]

Using the controls on the left side of the steering wheel, you can navigate to the Oil Life Remaining indicator and then you just hold the OK button to reset. I can't remember if it is under Vehicle or Display.

 

[countryguy]

Just checked...it is found under Vehicle, Settings, Oil Life.

 

[Bob Evans]

Oh ! I thought you meant to reset on app. The dealer usually resets vehicle.

Thank you..............

Once you reset on the vehicle, it should auto update on the app.

I have had the app give me a 0% at least 5 times this year alone, usually it will correct itself on the next login (or the next day). First time I saw it I went to the car and looked underneath and didn't see any oil. It is unnerving to see that red and telling you to change the oil immediately..

I received an updated Lincoln app notice last night and installed it. A quick run through the menus indicated no issues.
