1. put the key on the turn on position,
2. pump the gas pedal 6 times,
3. then take the key out,
4. then turn ur truck on...

thats on way... the second way is:

1. put the key on the turn on position,
2. brake the truck while pump the gas 6 times,
3. then turn ur truck on....

this is how i reset my truck

Mine (09/hemi) came on right at 2500 miles. So i changed it, then it came on again right at 5000 miles. I just reset it and plan on changing to Amsoil around 7500 miles.

The second way worked for me.. Mine also came on early after 4000k. I do alot of highway and run mobile one synthetic, so was a little curious why so early. I will be changing at 5000k regardless.

It's the driving style, most tuners also change the throttle sensitivity. So the ECM quicker detects severe use :-)
Just reset it with 2500miles and change the oil at 5000miles

I was not sure it was my tuner but it makes sense, mine came on after 4k and I just about lost it on my truck. Oil is pretty scummy for only 4k but I'm gonna take it somewhere other than the dealer to ensure I get quality oil rather than whatever they bought in a barrel.
