No you need to reset the oil monitor and reset it every time you change the oil even if the light is not on.

Turn the key to run, do not start the truck, press the gas pedal i believe 3 times, just do it 4 because I cant remember if it was 3 or 4... :crazy: Turn key off for the 30 seconds, start her up

Do you still have the owner's manual? Instructions are given in the manual.

If not, I can look in mine and let you know....it is something like shsportsfan said.

Does it work that way for the 2000 - 2006 models? I know it works for my 07. I am not sure about the 00 - 06.

it does if you have steering wheel controls, otherwise it's the gas pedal push
