I got my oil changed (not at the dealership) but I am still getting the service light indicator and it says that my oil is at 5%. I know it's wrong, they changed my oil - does anyone now how to reset it?

It's in page 414 of your owner's manual.
Your dealer will reset the display after completing the required maintenance service. You will see ‘‘OIL LIFE 100%’’ on the display the next time you turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position.
If maintenance service is done by someone other than your dealer,
reset the maintenance minder as follows:

It's a 2005 RL, by the way. But the owner manual directions are exactly as above, and it didn't work.

I have always wondered about how the user reset function works. Obviously this sets the Oil Life back to 100% but what about the Service Codes (A,B and 1-6)? Does the reset just assume that whatever service jobs were indicated in the last service codes were done?
