Ford Ka Engine Oil Service Light Reset

On your dashboard, you may receive a service required soon message and / or a symbol such as a spanner, exclamation mark or ‘MIL’ – check engine light or engine management light. An engine oil change / service is required around every 12 months or 12,500 miles – which ever is the soonest.

If you have had your Ford Ka serviced at a garage, occasionally the engineer forgets to reset the service reminder light, or if you are servicing the vehicle yourself, this explains how to reset the oil service reminder light for the Ford Ka, or Ford Figo as it’s called in certain countries..
