How to Reset the “Oil Change Due” Light on a Dodge Journey

Here is a super quick guide on how to reset the “Oil Change Due” light in your Dodge Journey!

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.

Simply press the “Start” button twice, slowly, to get it into the “RUN” position.

Once in the “RUN” position, with your foot, press the accelerator pedal (gas pedal) all the way to the floor, then release. Repeat this a total of 3 times within 10 seconds.

Then press the “Start” button again to get it into the “OFF” position.

Now you can go ahead and start the vehicle as you normally would. The “Oil Change Due” light should now be off!

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

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.

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.

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.

Reset Oil Light Dodge Journey: The Ultimate Guide to Clearing the Oil Change Reminder

Last Updated on September 29, 2023 by Albert Duke

To reset the oil light on a Dodge Journey, start by turning the vehicle off. Then, press and hold the OK button while using the right arrow button to navigate to the “Oil Life” submenu screen.

Finally, release the OK button to reset the oil life.

Understanding The Oil Change Indicator System

To reset the oil light on a Dodge Journey, start the vehicle, turn it off, and repeat the process three times. This simple procedure will clear the oil change indicator system and ensure you stay on top of your vehicle’s maintenance needs without any hassle.

The Oil Change Indicator System in a Dodge Journey is an important feature that helps you keep track of when your vehicle needs an oil change. This system uses various sensors and algorithms to determine the condition of your oil and calculate when it needs to be changed.

Here’s how it works:

• The system constantly monitors factors such as engine speed, temperature, and driving conditions to assess the oil’s quality.
• It takes into account factors like mileage and time since the last oil change to determine when the oil is due for a change.
• When it’s time for an oil change, the system will display a warning message on the dashboard, typically saying “Oil Change Required” or displaying an oil can icon.
• Some newer Dodge Journey models may also provide a specific oil change percentage or countdown indicator.

How Does The Oil Change Indicator System Work?

The Oil Change Indicator System works by analyzing data from various sensors and algorithms to determine the condition of the oil, including factors like mileage, time since the last oil change, and engine performance. Here’s a breakdown of the process:

• The system uses sensors to monitor engine speed, temperature, and driving conditions, which helps assess the quality and condition of the oil.
• It takes into account factors like mileage and time since the last oil change to calculate how the oil is deteriorating.
• The data is processed by the system’s algorithm, which determines when the oil has reached a point where it needs to be changed.
• Once the system determines that the oil change is due, it will display a warning message or indicator on the dashboard to notify the driver.

Importance Of Servicing The Oil Change Reminder

Servicing the oil change reminder in your Dodge Journey is crucial to ensure the longevity and performance of your vehicle’s engine. Here’s why it’s important:

• Regular oil changes help keep your engine lubricated, reducing friction and wear between moving parts.
• Fresh oil helps remove contaminants and debris from the engine, preventing the buildup of sludge and improving engine performance.
• Neglecting the oil change reminder can lead to increased engine wear, reduced fuel efficiency, and potential engine damage.
• Maintaining a regular oil change schedule can help extend the life of your engine and improve overall vehicle reliability.

Remember to always follow your vehicle’s recommended oil change intervals and utilize your Dodge Journey’s Oil Change Indicator System as a helpful tool to keep your engine running smoothly.

How to Quickly Reset Oil Change Light in Dodge Journey: Expert Tips

Regular oil changes are crucial to maintaining the performance and longevity of your Dodge Journey. However, after getting an oil change, you may notice that the oil change light on your dashboard is still illuminated. This can be a bit frustrating, but fear not! In this article, we will guide you through the steps to reset the oil change light in your Dodge Journey, ensuring you have a smooth and hassle-free driving experience.

Step 1: Preparation

Before resetting the oil change light, make sure you have completed the oil change process and the engine is turned off. It is also a good idea to have a clean cloth or a paper towel handy in case you need to clean any oil residue.

Step 2: Locate the Controls

The location of the controls may vary depending on the year and model of your Dodge Journey. In most cases, you can find the control buttons on the steering wheel or the dashboard. Look for a cluster of buttons with symbols or labels, including ones for controlling the trip information or the settings of your vehicle.

Step 3: Turn on the Ignition

Insert your key into the ignition and turn it to the “ON” position without starting the engine. Make sure all the warning lights on the dashboard illuminate, and the radio or any other electrical accessories are turned off.

Step 4: Access the Settings

Now that the ignition is on, locate the button or buttons related to vehicle settings. These buttons are often labeled with a picture of a wrench or a gear. Press and hold the button until you see a menu or a sub-menu appear on the instrument cluster display.

Step 5: Navigate the Menu

Using the arrow buttons or the directional pad on your steering wheel, navigate through the menu until you find the “Oil Life” or “Oil Change” option. Select this option to proceed to the next step.

Step 6: Reset the Oil Change Light

Once you have selected the “Oil Life” or “Oil Change” option, you will see a prompt asking if you want to reset the oil change light. Choose “Yes” or “Reset” to confirm your action. In some models, you may need to press and hold the reset button for a few seconds to clear the oil change light.

Step 7: Verify the Reset

After resetting the oil change light, ensure that the light has turned off. You may need to restart your vehicle to allow the changes to take effect. If the light persists, repeat the process or consult your vehicle’s manual for further assistance.

Tips and Precautions

Here are some additional tips and precautions to keep in mind:

• Always refer to your Dodge Journey’s owner’s manual for model-specific instructions and information.
• Double-check that you have completed the oil change process before attempting to reset the oil change light.
• If you are uncertain about any steps or encounter any issues, seek professional help from a certified Dodge technician.
• Regularly scheduling oil changes as recommended by your vehicle’s manufacturer will help keep your engine running smoothly and prevent potential damage.

By following these steps and taking the necessary precautions, you can easily reset the oil change light in your Dodge Journey. Keeping up with regular oil changes and maintenance will ensure the optimal performance and longevity of your vehicle, giving you peace of mind on the road.

Dodge Journey low oil pressure light is on – causes and how to reset

The low oil pressure warning light is one of the most important indicators on the dashboard of your Dodge Journey. It warns you when your engine is not receiving enough oil pressure, which can cause serious damage to your vehicle’s engine if left unaddressed. In this article, we’ll explore potential causes and provide tips on how to fix them so that you can keep your Journey running smoothly and avoid costly repairs.

1. Low oil level

When the oil level is low, the oil pump may not be able to generate enough pressure to properly lubricate the engine components, leading to decreased oil pressure and potentially causing engine damage. In this situation, the low oil pressure warning light will turn on to alert the driver to the issue.

Check oil level

If the low oil pressure warning light turns on, it is important to stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so and check the oil level. If the oil level is low in your Journey, you should add oil immediately to prevent potential engine damage.

2. Wrong oil viscosity

Oil is too thick, or too thin

Using oil with a viscosity that is too thick can cause issues with oil flow and lubrication, leading to increased engine wear and decreased fuel efficiency. On the other hand, using oil with a viscosity that is too thin can lead to decreased engine protection, decreased fuel efficiency, and increased oil consumption.

Verify the oil viscosity for your engine

To prevent issues with the wrong oil viscosity, it is important to refer to the owner’s manual or consult with a qualified mechanic to determine the correct oil viscosity for your vehicle. When changing the oil, be sure to use oil with the correct viscosity rating and type recommended by the manufacturer.

If you suspect that the wrong oil viscosity has been used in your vehicle, it is important to have it inspected by a qualified mechanic.

3. Oil pressure sensor malfunction

A bad oil pressure sensor can cause the low oil pressure warning light to turn on in your Journey. The oil pressure sensor is responsible for monitoring the oil pressure and sending a signal to the vehicle’s computer, which in turn illuminates the warning light on the dashboard if the oil pressure drops below a certain level.

If the oil pressure sensor is malfunctioning, it may send a false signal to the vehicle’s computer, causing the low oil pressure warning light to turn on even if the oil pressure is actually within a safe range. Alternatively, a faulty sensor may not send a signal at all, causing the warning light to remain off even if the oil pressure is dangerously low.

How to check a faulty oil pressure sensor

If the oil pressure sensor is malfunctioning, it may trigger an OBD fault code in your vehicle’s engine control module (ECM). This fault code can be read using a diagnostic scanner or code reader, and will provide information about the specific nature of the issue with the oil pressure sensor.

Some common fault codes that may be associated with a faulty oil pressure sensor include:

• P0520: Engine Oil Pressure Sensor/Switch Circuit Malfunction
• P0521: Engine Oil Pressure Sensor/Switch Circuit Range/Performance
• P0522: Engine Oil Pressure Sensor/Switch Circuit Low Voltage
• P0523: Engine Oil Pressure Sensor/Switch Circuit High Voltage

If you receive an OBD fault code related to the oil pressure sensor, it is important to have the issue diagnosed and repaired as soon as possible. A faulty sensor can lead to inaccurate readings and potential engine damage if the oil pressure drops too low.

4. Faulty oil pump

A faulty oil pump can also cause the low oil pressure warning light to turn on in your Dodge Journey. The oil pump is responsible for circulating the engine oil throughout the engine, providing lubrication and cooling to the various components.

If the oil pump is not functioning properly, it may not be able to generate enough pressure to properly circulate the oil through the engine. This can result in decreased oil pressure, which can cause the low oil pressure warning light to turn on.

Some signs of a faulty oil pump include engine noise, decreased oil pressure, and oil pressure fluctuations.

Ignoring a faulty oil pump can lead to potential engine damage if the engine is not receiving adequate lubrication and cooling. It is important to address any issues with the oil pump as soon as possible to prevent further damage to the engine.

5. Oil pressure relief valve stuck open

If the oil pressure relief valve is stuck open in the engine of your Dodge Journey, it can cause the low oil pressure warning light to turn on. The oil pressure relief valve is designed to regulate the oil pressure in the engine by opening and closing as needed to maintain the appropriate level of pressure.

Oil flows too freely

If the valve becomes stuck open, it can allow the oil to flow too freely through the system, which can result in a decrease in oil pressure. This decrease in oil pressure can cause the low oil pressure warning light to turn on.

6. Clogged oil pickup screen

A clogged oil pickup screen is another possible cause of the low oil pressure warning light turning on in your Journey. The oil pickup screen is located at the bottom of the oil pan and is responsible for filtering out any debris or contaminants that may be present in the oil.

Over time, the oil pickup screen can become clogged with debris, which can restrict the flow of oil through the engine. This restriction can cause a decrease in oil pressure, which can trigger the low oil pressure warning light to turn on.

7. Oil pickup tube cracked, sucking air

If the oil pickup tube in your engine is cracked, it can cause the low oil pressure warning light to turn on in Journey. The oil pickup tube is responsible for drawing oil from the oil pan and sending it through the engine for lubrication and cooling.

If the pickup tube is cracked, it can allow air to enter the oil system, which can disrupt the flow of oil and cause a decrease in oil pressure. This decrease in oil pressure can trigger the low oil pressure warning light to turn on.

8. Clogged oil filter, and failed bypass value

A clogged oil filter and a failed bypass valve are two possible causes of the low oil pressure warning light turning on in your Dodge Journey.

The oil filter is responsible for removing contaminants from the engine oil, and over time it can become clogged with debris. If the filter becomes too clogged, it can restrict the flow of oil through the engine, causing a decrease in oil pressure and triggering the low oil pressure warning light to turn on.

The bypass valve is designed to allow oil to bypass the oil filter if the filter becomes clogged. If the bypass valve fails to function properly, it can prevent oil from bypassing the filter and result in a decrease in oil pressure.

9. Oil not changed on time

Oil that has not been changed on time or is too old can also contribute to low oil pressure in your Journey. Over time, engine oil breaks down and becomes less effective at lubricating the engine and removing contaminants. As a result, the oil pressure can drop and cause the low oil pressure warning light to turn on.

May need to flush the engine

If the oil in your Journey is too old or has not been changed on time, it’s important to have it changed as soon as possible. An oil change will replace the old oil with fresh oil and help restore proper oil pressure. In some cases, it may also be necessary to flush the engine to remove any built-up contaminants that can contribute to low oil pressure.

Always change engine oil on time

Regular oil changes can help prevent low oil pressure issues in your Journey and prolong the life of the engine. It’s important to consult the owner’s manual for specific oil change intervals and follow the manufacturer’s recommendations to ensure proper engine lubrication and prevent costly repairs.

Use an OBD Scanner for diagnosis

Using an OBD (On-Board Diagnostics) scanner is a great way to diagnose low oil pressure issues in your Dodge Journey. An OBD scanner can connect to your vehicle’s OBD-II port and retrieve diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) that can help pinpoint the cause of the low oil pressure warning light.

When the low oil pressure warning light turns on, the OBD scanner can be used to retrieve the specific DTC associated with the issue.

Once the DTC has been retrieved, the OBD scanner can also be used to monitor live engine data such as oil pressure, engine RPM, and engine temperature. This data can help identify issues such as a failed oil pressure sensor or a clogged oil pickup screen.

While an OBD scanner can be a useful tool for diagnosing low oil pressure issues in your Journey, it’s important to note that it may not be able to diagnose all possible causes of low oil pressure. In some cases, a visual inspection of the engine or additional diagnostic tests may be necessary to identify the root cause of the issue.

If you’re not comfortable using an OBD scanner or don’t have access to one, it’s important to have your Journey inspected by a qualified mechanic who can diagnose and repair low oil pressure issues to prevent further damage to the engine.

How to reset the warning light

You can reset the warning light in Journey by clearing the relevant fault codes with an OBD scanner.

However, it’s important to address the underlying cause of the issue before attempting to reset the light. Simply resetting the light with an OBD scanner by clearing the code will not fix the problem and the light will likely come back on once the system detects the fault again.

The low oil pressure warning light is designed to alert the driver of a potentially serious issue with the engine’s oil pressure. Ignoring the warning and attempting to reset the light without addressing the underlying cause can lead to further damage to the engine and result in costly repairs.

If you’re unsure of the cause of the low oil pressure, it’s best to have your Journey diagnosed by a qualified mechanic. They can use an OBD scanner to read any fault codes stored in the system and perform additional tests to identify the root cause of the issue. Once the underlying cause has been fixed, the mechanic can reset the warning light and ensure that the engine is running properly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can i continue driving my journey with low oil pressure light on.

If the low oil pressure warning light turns on in your Dodge Journey while you are driving, it is important to take immediate action to avoid potential engine damage. The first step is to safely stop the vehicle as soon as possible, while being mindful of traffic and other road hazards. Once you have come to a safe stop, you should turn off the engine.

It is important to note that driving with low oil pressure can cause serious damage to your engine, as the oil serves as a lubricant to prevent friction and wear between moving parts. If the engine is run without enough oil pressure, it can lead to increased heat and friction, which can cause damage or even complete engine failure.

How long can an engine run with low oil pressure?

It’s difficult to say exactly how long an engine can run with low oil pressure, as it depends on several factors such as the severity of the issue and how quickly the problem is addressed. In general, it’s not recommended to run an engine with low oil pressure for any longer than necessary, as it can lead to significant engine damage or even complete engine failure.

Can I just add oil to my car?

If your vehicle’s low oil pressure warning light has turned on, adding oil to the engine may help increase the oil pressure and prevent further damage, but only if the cause is due to low oil level.

Before adding oil, make sure to check the owner’s manual to determine the correct type and amount of oil needed for your vehicle. It’s also important to check the oil level and ensure that it is not above the maximum level.

Adding too much oil can cause foaming and reduce the oil’s ability to lubricate the engine properly, which can cause further damage. It’s best to add oil in small increments, checking the oil level frequently to ensure that the oil level is within the recommended range.

Will a bad oil pump throw a code?

A bad oil pump can cause low oil pressure and trigger the low oil pressure warning light, but it may not always throw a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) on the OBD system.

The reason for this is that the oil pressure sensor detects the low oil pressure and sends a signal to the engine control module (ECM) which then illuminates the low oil pressure warning light. However, if the oil pressure sensor is working properly, the ECM may not register a fault code related to the oil pump.

That being said, if the oil pump is failing and causing low oil pressure, it may trigger other DTCs related to engine performance or oil pressure. For example, if the oil pressure is low and causing engine misfires, it may trigger a DTC related to misfires. Similarly, if the low oil pressure is causing other engine components to fail, such as the variable valve timing system, it may trigger a DTC related to that system.

Can low oil pressure cause an engine to misfire?

Yes, low oil pressure can cause misfires in an engine. Misfires occur when one or more cylinders in the engine fail to ignite properly, which can cause a variety of symptoms such as a rough idle, decreased power, and increased emissions.

Low oil pressure can cause misfires in several ways. First, low oil pressure can lead to insufficient lubrication of critical engine components, such as the valve train and bearings. Without proper lubrication, these components can wear and fail, leading to engine misfires.

Secondly, low oil pressure can cause variable valve timing (VVT) systems to malfunction, which can also cause misfires. Many modern engines use VVT systems to optimize engine performance and fuel efficiency. These systems rely on oil pressure to operate properly, and if oil pressure is too low, they may not function as intended.

Will the check engine light come on if oil pressure is low?

In some cases, a low oil pressure condition may trigger the check engine light to come on. The check engine light is designed to come on when the engine control module (ECM) detects a fault with one of the vehicle’s systems or components. If low oil pressure is detected as a fault, the ECM may illuminate the check engine light and store a code in its memory for retrieval with a diagnostic scanner.
