It won't say anything but oil change required

Whilst holding the setup button it won't change from oil change required

It was a while ago you posted this, but you have to clear the message with the rest button first. If you aren't on the mileage/trip screen you have to get there first

Thank you for the help, worked awesome! Used this on the 2008 Escape and pretty sure it works the same way as the 2010, but don't have it here. If you watch the video, unless the 2007 is very different they should be there on all the years listed, the buttons are on the lower dash to the left of the steering wheel, next to the headlight switch. All three are present on the 2008.

I have a 2007 Ford escape I also do not have a reset button it's amazing how many of these tutorials or instructions on different sites all say reset button or trip reset none of them work frustrating.

My 2007 ford escape xlt doesnt have a setup or info button. Also I know it's time for an oil change but no light or anything has came on.
