So I did my change over to synthetic oil at 3459 just started up the KK 6970 on the clock and the words " OIL " came across the odometer screen ..... Assistance fellas?

I assume just needs a reset as my oil change will probably be at 8k?

Does it first read "change" then "oil"? Does it happen at every start up? If so then it's monitoring system is telling you that your oil should be changed. It goes by time, number of start ups, driving style etc. It doesn't know that you put synthetic oil in it that supposedly lasts x amount of miles/months.

It's very easy to reset if you need to.

Check the oil...

See what color it is and the level.

If you feel it can go longer, then reset it..
