Keeping up with your Dodge Challenger’s maintenance schedule is crucial for ensuring optimal performance and longevity. One of the key aspects of vehicle maintenance is monitoring the oil life. Over time, the oil in your Dodge Challenger becomes less effective at lubricating and protecting the engine. That’s why it’s important to reset the oil life monitor when you change your oil. In this article, we’ll guide you through the steps on how to reset oil life on a Dodge Challenger.
Before you begin, make sure you have the following items:

Here’s how to reset the oil life on your Dodge Challenger:
- Locate the Vehicle Information Center (VIC) or the instrument cluster display on your Dodge Challenger.
- Press and hold the “SET” button until the display shows “MAIN MENU” or “INFO” (this may vary depending on the year and model of your Challenger).
- Using the “UP” or “DOWN” arrow buttons, scroll through the menu options until you find “OIL LIFE” or “OIL CHANGE” (the exact term may differ between models).
- Press the “SET” button to select “OIL LIFE” or “OIL CHANGE” and then press “OK” or “SELECT” to confirm.
- Now, press the “SET” button again to enter the reset menu.
- Use the “UP” or “DOWN” arrow buttons to navigate to the “RESET” option.
- Press “SET” to confirm the reset, and the oil life monitor should now be reset.
Once the oil life monitor is reset, your Dodge Challenger will start tracking the mileage and time until the next oil change is due. Remember to refer to your vehicle’s owner’s manual for any specific instructions related to your model year and trim level.
By following these steps, you can easily reset the oil life on your Dodge Challenger, ensuring that your vehicle stays in top condition. Regular maintenance is key to keeping your Challenger running smoothly and efficiently.
