Thanks for your response. I was thinking it was telling me that I'm due for service inspection #2.
In the manual it says its supposed to say "service engine oil" for oil changes but maybe that was just in the manual and the actual display in the car only says "service engine"
What do you think? I bought oil and filter so I was going to do it today. Is the filter easy to get to? I haven't looked for it yet.
thanks,

John

 

I figured it out and found my drain plug and the filter cover on top near the rear wall. I had a 36mm socket and 1/2 rachet and it worked like a charm. The drain plug was so damn tight. It took a while but I finaly got it to break. Man, some idiot somewhere overtighten it much more than the 18ft pounds it's supposed to be at. My oil was near black! I put fresh 5w30 Castrol full synthetic and a new filter element (Fram, all I could find in my area at a Kragens) Then, I did the instructions to reset as posted by bad venge and they worked like a charm!!!
WOW, she's is purring like a kitten now and my panel looks clean with no messages. I'm so stoked!!!

Thank You Very Much Bad Venge!
