Reset the maintanence interval?
I changed my oil this past weekend, around 1,000 miles. I found the "oil" reset trick and did it, now it reads 8,000 miles or 8 months.
I want to change the default setting to 3,000 miles, the owners manual says you have to visit mr. dealership to have THEM do it...
can anyone help me avoid the dealership and tell me how to re-program the service interval?
My wife's Pacifica is a snap to dial in any mileage you want from 2,000 up to 5,000.
Thanks,
Tim

I also did try searching...but no love.
I tried the supplied links but they don't seem to work for me
I guess I have to head to the dealer.
Thanks,
Tim

You do not need to go to the dealership for this. I will post the instructions later.

Taken from evom forum:
Some useful info fromthe service manual - here is how to reset your Service Reminder, Change the Maintenance Schedule (factory default is 6 months/7,500 miles but those of us requiring the "Severe Maintenance" schedule can change it as outlined below), or inactivate it altogether:
HOW TO CANCEL THE SERVICE REMINDER WARNING
1. Turn the ignition switch to the "OFF" position.
2. By operating the meter information switch, the warning period is displayed on the multi information display.
3. Press the meter information switch once for 1.2 seconds or longer.
4. The service reminder indicator flashes.
5. While the service reminder indicator flashes, press the meter information switch once for less than 1.2 seconds.
6. The service reminder indicator is turned ON, and "CLEAR" is displayed on the multi-information display for 3 seconds.
7. After "CLEAR" is displayed for 3 seconds, the warning period to the next time is displayed.
HOW TO SET THE SCHEDULE
1. Turn the ignition switch to the "OFF" position.
2. By operating the meter information switch, the warning period is displayed on the multi information display.
3. Press the meter information switch once for 1.2 seconds or longer.
4. The service reminder indicator flashes.
5. While the service reminder indicator flashes, press the meter information switch 3 times consecutively for 1.2 seconds or longer.
6. The service reminder indicator is turned ON, and the current schedule is displayed on the multi information display.
7. While the current schedule is displayed, press the meter information switch 3 times consecutively for less than 1.2 seconds.
8. The multi information display is shifted to the schedule selection mode.
9. When the meter information switch is pressed for less than 1.2 seconds, the schedule is shifted, and when the switch is pressed for 1.2 seconds or longer, the displayed schedule is set.
10. The schedule set in Step 9 is displayed for 3 seconds, and the warning period to the next time is displayed.
