Default Oil Change light operation

Hey guys, Does everyone know how to reset the oil change light on your car? If not, shame on you and RTFM. Now that we are up to speed, one thing that is not in TFM is that the light can be set for various mileages. I won't offer a suggestion on how often you should change your oil, but when you hold the odometer reset **** and turn on the ignition, 5 bars in the odometer display flash and then sequentially go out. Each of these bars represents 1k miles. If you want to set the light to come on in 3k miles, let go of the reset **** with 2 bars remaining. 4k with 1 bar remaining and so on....Each bar that goes out will be 1k miles before the light comes on. In case you didn't know and would like to use this function.

Nice. I'll add that to the FAQ on the light reset. Any way to stretch it out to 7500?
