Oil life Indicator Sudden Drop

[jcrheingans]

I have a 2015 EcoDiesel and on the drive to work this morning the oil life indicator dropped to zero and said oil change needed. I just changed it 2700 miles ago.... Anyone seen this before? Is there a sensor that controls this that I should be checking?

Just wanted to update for anyone who this might be a problem for. I changed the oil when it hit 3,800 miles and reset the counter and it has proceeded to count down at a normal level. Not sure why it went crazy to begin with but oil pressure never looked abnormal.

On your first oil change did the oil change reset actually take? My first oil change was done at the dealer, the last time as well, and I made it the 40 miles home when the "Change Oil" light came on. When I went to the indicator it showed 10K miles since last oil change, zero oil life remaining. I reset the monitor, three times before it actually reset. The reset issue has popped up a couple of times the last six years.

Good luck.

Yes the indicator said the correct mileage (2700) so I know it was reset. I also have to reset two or three times in the driveway to get it to take!
