Oil gauge reset
Hi, need some advice on the oil change. How do i reset the trip metre.I change the oil and filter every year,the trip miles keeps building up.
thanks Arthur |
Something like this:-
Reset tool Fits into the OBD socket under the right hand side of the dash near the door pillar. |

You can easily do the reset yourself without the 'special' tools they sell nowadays and the instructions are in the Club members' Technical Data/HowTo files. This link goes to the page with the reset info (third from bottom of RH column). Click: https://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/ind...?thepage=howto You must be signed in to see it. Members did their resets like this for years before the Chinese latched onto it. The resetter gizmos are basically on-off switches that do the pin shorting as described in the HowTo. However, you get flashing lights with the button boxes. |

For the sake of £7.35, get the reset tool. You'll be doing this more than once and it really is ridiculous to be fiddling around on your hands and knees with a paperclip! :getmecoat: Simon |
Rover could have put an easy to set oil change on the OBC like on the FL1 FL2 unless it is on there and we have not found it yet ;)

Thanks

Don't bother spending money on a gizmo that doesn't provide you with anything useful. Ignore the service reminder screen and everything's fine. I suspect very few 75/ZT owners do the resets these days. Be sure to use the specified oil type. See below. https://www.mediafire.com/convkey/46...we34q1q86g.jpg The vital thing about your chosen brand of oil is that it complies with the ACEA specs A3 and B3 (or higher). It will be a semi-synthetic or higher. TC |
Hi thanks for the info.I have just bought some 10w-40 COMMA X FLOW SEMI SYNTHETIC TYPE XS with ACEA A3-B3 of API-SL-CF. It was stated that it can be used for all ROVER DIESEL MODELS,WHATS YOUR THOUGHTS?.
thanks again Arthur |

It's fine as it meets the requirements, but I wouldn't run it more than 8000 miles on a turbo diesel. Would only do that with a full synthetic. |
