Ford Mondeo Change Oil Soon / Service Reset

On your Ford Mondeo / Ford Fusion you’ll receive a a message on the dashboard Service oil / Change oil soon which may be accompanied by the symbol of a spanner. If you service / change the oil  in your own vehicle, or on occasions if the engineer has forgotten to reset the reminder, you’ll need to do it yourself to stop the nagging message.

The procedure to reset the Ford Mondeo service light reminder is quick, simple and should work on all Mk4 models from 2007 to 2017.


  1. When an engine oil change / service is due, you should have a message similar to 1. This will vary depending on the dashboard instrument cluster type you have.

  8. Press OK button on steering wheel to confirm and close message.
  9. That’s it, service reset complete. Turn ignition off and on again to confirm the reminder message has gone.



How Often Does the Ford Mondeo Need a Service?

The servicing specifics of your particular model of Ford Mondeo will be covered in your owners manual / servicing schedule book, or if you are missing this, ask your local Ford dealer. In general however, a full service should be conducted around every 12,000 miles or every 12 months – whichever comes soonest.

To keep the engine in optimal condition, some owners also opt for an interim service around every 6 months or 6,000 miles – whichever comes soonest. An interim service often involves a basic oil and oil filter change between each full service.
