If you buy through links on my site, I may earn a commission – at no cost to you. Every click helps; thank you for helping me keep this site active!

The “Oil Change Due” light comes on every 5,000-10,000 miles after being reset (depending on type of driving). This is a nice reminder that you need an oil change, but can be a bit annoying as well! Luckily it is very easy to reset this light. It is in the owner’s manual as well, but usually it is easier just to Google the solution! Here are the steps to reset the light.

Oil-Change Supplies:

  • Mobil 1 Full-Synthetic 5w-20 Motor Oil
  • Mopar Oil Filter – Dodge Journey (2009-2019) (both 4 Cyl 2.4L and 6 Cyl 3.5L)
  • Oil Change Kit

Step by Step Instructions:

Reset the “Oil Change Due” Light using these steps:

  • Start with the vehicle off. Do not press any foot pedals.
  • Press the start button twice to get it to the “On/Run” setting.
  • Press the gas pedal all the way to the floor 3 times within 10 seconds.
  • Press the start button again to turn the vehicle to the “Off” setting.

Detailed Steps with Pictures:

Start with the car in the off position. Normally you would press the brake with your foot and press the start button. In order to reset the “Oil Change Due” light, DON’T press the brake pedal with your foot.

I’d wager those it’s not working for are stoping at the accessory position and not going to the run position. Press the start/stop 2x without your foot on any pedal- the car won’t crank without your foot on the brake. Then press accelerator 3x within 10 seconds then start stop again. It works, I promise!

Thanks for the comment, good tip!

We’ve tried this a million times, different speeds and it isn’t working, any other options?

Hi Michelle, sorry it’s not working for you.

Some other things to consider are that other factors can also play a role. For example, if the headlights are on, it may not work. Also, the emergency brake. Try to think of things like that, that could be affecting it.

Wish I had a better answer for you! Good luck!

Doesn’t work. Tried it 5 different times

Thanks. Very simple to do.

You’re welcome, glad to help!

I have been trying this and it will not go off. I just had an oil change. Is there any other tips on how to get it to turn off

About Dodge Journey

The Dodge Journey is a mid-size crossover SUV produced and marketed by Fiat Chrysler Automobiles’ Dodge brand from 2009 to 2020, with a facelift for the 2011 model year. The Journey was designed by Ryan Nagode and was sold worldwide in both left and right hand drive configurations, including as the Fiat Freemont.

The Journey, internally known as the JC49, is based on FCA’s global D-segment platform and has a nearly identical wheelbase to the outgoing short wheel base (SWB) Dodge Caravan.

The Journey first appeared at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show and then again at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show. All models were produced in Mexico at FCA’s Toluca Assembly plant, with just over 1.1 million produced previously.

The Dodge Journey was offered in two different trim levels for the 2020 model year: the SE Value as the entry-level option and the Crossroad as the “up-level” alternative. All models of the 2020 Dodge Journey were equipped with a 2.4-liter inline-four gasoline engine that produced 173 horsepower and 166 lb-ft of torque, mated to a four-speed automatic transmission, and offered front wheel drive as an available drivetrain. The 3.6-liter Pentastar Variable Valve Timing (VVT) V6 gasoline engine, six-speed automatic transmission, and the All Wheel Drive option have all been taken off the market. The Journey models included seating for seven passengers across three rows, which was previously only available as an option on the base trim levels. The various options and bundles that are available have been modified. In addition, for the 2020 model year, the Journey, along with the Dodge Grand Caravan, will not be made available in states that have adopted California’s stringent emissions regulations. Dodge cited their decision to transition to a performance brand as the reason for ending production of the Journey after the 2020 model year.

You all missed 2 major steps. For push starts, you press TWICE without pressing brake pedal. The car’s run light should be on. You press the acceleration down 3 times as stated. And THEN, while car is still on the run light, you press the Brake and then it should leave.

I followed the steps as shown on my 2018 Journey and it worked perfectly.

I followed these states and it worked perfectly.

For PUSH-BUTTON start models (mine is 2014) ……follow Camille’s correction above.

Thanks Camille for the correction.

The 2011 reworking brought a much nicer interior and a better V6, but the lack of agility and still-mediocre fuel economy keep it out of the top ranks. Plus it was more expensive than many better rivals.

When to Change 2016 Dodge Journey Engine Oil

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2016 Dodge Journey? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than tires. We know all about motor oil, too. After all, like our maintenance technician Brianna says, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Your 2016 Journey’s oil should be changed according to Dodge’s recommended oil change intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Journey in the above table. Outside of Dodge-recommended oil change intervals, your Journey may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock  coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Dodge recommends if you haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, adventure off-road, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Dodge Journey. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.

What’s the Right Type of Oil for 2016 Dodge Journey?

Whether you need high mileage oil, synthetic oil, or conventional oil, you'll find the right 2016 Dodge Journey motor oil at Firestone Complete Auto Care. Dodge has most likely outlined either synthetic or conventional as the best motor oil for your 2016 Journey. This oil helps lubricate engine parts, keep the engine cool, and keep harmful substances from building up inside the engine. During an oil change, a technician will change your Journey's oil, replace and recycle the old oil and filter, inspect all of your other filters, top-off essential fluids, and visually inspect the rest of the vehicle. You can rest assured knowing that we seek to do what’s best for your Journey by considering your driving style, and odometer.

Types of Motor Oil for Dodges

Wondering if we carry the right motor oil for your Dodge? We stock outstanding motor oils because that's what your engine deserves. Consult Dodge's recommendations to select the right  2016 Journey oil and talk with a teammate to learn more about our oil options: Quaker State® Advanced Durability™ conventional oil, Pennzoil® High Mileage Vehicle® motor oil, Pennzoil Platinum® Full Synthetic motor oil with PurePlus™ Technology, and Shell Rotella® heavy-duty engine oil. There are plenty of motor oils on the market today, so why do we prefer these brands? They are tested and trusted. For instance, when tested in taxi fleets across North America, Quaker State was shown to provide 2x more protection than the industry standard. [1] Pennzoil is another option. Pennzoil Synthetics feature the capabilities to advance with vehicle technology to offer complete protection for not only the engines of today, but also the engines of tomorrow. But don't forget about Shell Rotella for heavy-duty engines. It's expressly designed for gasoline and diesel engines that need to withstand rugged conditions, and is uniquely strengthened to deliver increased wear protection, heightened performance in extreme temperatures, and improved oxidation resistance. Always refer to Dodge's recommendations before going with a new or different motor oil for your 2016 Dodge Journey.

Where Can I Get a Dodge Journey Oil Change

Oils meeting API SN and the new “Resource Conserving” designation meet all ILSAC GF-5 performance requirements.

2016 Dodge Journey Oil Change Questions

  • Should I check my Dodge Journey motor oil level? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If your oil runs low, engine parts can grind together, generate excess heat, and eventually lead to Dodge Journey engine failure. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Dodge oil on my own? Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Dodge Journey spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, fried piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
  • Who can change the oil on my Dodge Journey? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care for Dodge Journey oil changes. In addition to changing your oil, our experienced technicians also perform oil filter replacements, troubleshoot oil leaks, and suggest the correct oil to help keep your engine performing its best.
  • What does it mean if my Dodge Journey oil light comes on? The oil change light in your Dodge Journey could be triggered by an overdue oil change. However, if the oil pressure light is on, you may be dealing with low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a clogged oil filter, or a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor.
  • Do I need to change my Journey's oil filter when I get an oil change? It's recommended that you replace your Dodge Journey oil filter with every oil change. Otherwise, you send fresh, clean motor oil through a dirty filter. That's like putting on muddy socks after a shower.

How to Reset Your Dodge Journey Screen: Step-by-Step Guide

Resetting the screen in your Dodge Journey can help resolve various issues such as frozen display, unresponsive touch controls, or software glitches. If you’re experiencing any of these problems, here are a few methods you can try to reset your Dodge Journey screen:

Method 1: Soft Reset

  • Start by pressing and holding the power button located on the front panel of your screen.
  • Hold the button for about 15-20 seconds until the screen turns off and the system completely shuts down.
  • Release the power button and wait for a few seconds.
  • Press the power button once again to turn on the system and check if the screen is functioning properly now.

Method 2: Battery Disconnect

If the soft reset doesn’t work, you can try disconnecting the battery to reset the screen. Please note that disconnecting the battery may reset other settings and parameters in your vehicle, so it’s important to proceed with caution and consult your vehicle’s manual if needed.

  • First, make sure your vehicle is turned off and the key is removed from the ignition.
  • Locate the negative battery terminal, usually marked with a minus (-) sign.
  • Use a wrench or a socket to loosen the nut on the negative battery terminal.
  • Once the nut is loose, carefully remove the negative battery cable from the terminal.
  • Leave the cable disconnected for about 5-10 minutes to allow the system to reset.
  • After the waiting period, reconnect the negative battery cable to the terminal and tighten the nut.
  • Start your vehicle and check if the screen is now functioning normally.

Method 3: System Reset

If the previous methods didn’t work, you can try performing a system reset on your Dodge Journey’s screen. Keep in mind that this method might erase any customized settings, so it’s advisable to note down your preferences beforehand.

  • Start by accessing the main menu on your Dodge Journey screen.
  • Look for the “Settings” option and select it.
  • Within the Settings menu, locate the “System” or “System Reset” option.
  • Select the “System Reset” option and confirm your selection when prompted.
  • Follow any additional on-screen instructions that may appear during the reset process.
  • Once the reset is complete, check if the screen has been successfully restored.

Remember, it’s always a good idea to consult your vehicle’s manual or contact an authorized Dodge service center if you’re unsure about any of these methods or if the issues persist after attempting a reset. Resetting the screen may resolve many common issues, but in some cases, professional assistance may be required to diagnose and fix underlying problems.

By following these methods, you should be able to reset your Dodge Journey screen and resolve any display or software issues. If the problems persist, it may be necessary to seek professional help to diagnose and repair any hardware or software malfunctions.
