    From your owners manual in the Instrument Cluster Section:

    http://www.fordservicecontent.com/Ford_Content/cat...

    OIL LIFE

    This displays the remaining oil life.

    An oil change is required whenever indicated by the message center and

    according to the recommended maintenance schedule. USE ONLY

    RECOMMENDED ENGINE OILS.

    To reset the oil monitoring system to 100% after each oil change,

    perform the following:

    1. Press and release the SETUP button to display “OIL LIFE XXX%

    HOLD RESET = NEW”.

    2. Press and hold the RESET button for two seconds and release to reset

    the oil life to 100%.

    Note: To change oil life 100% value (if equipped with this feature) to

    another value, proceed to Step 3.

    3. Once “OIL LIFE SET TO XXX%” is displayed, release and press the

    RESET button to change the Oil Life Start Value. Each release and press

    will reduce the value by 10%.
