Where is my oil life reading ?
2018 lariat. Went under the engine info and only see engine hours. Nothing on oil/oil life . Any thoughts ? Thanks In advance

Hold my beer
On my '18 XLT , it is Settings > Advanced Settings > Vehicle > Oil Life Reset > shows oil life and you can reset it here. Might vary slightly for the Lariat though.

Just really annoying to me that I can't access it while the truck is in drive. Have to have it parked and running to access the oil life is kinda dumb. My Sync2 Edge has that info easily available.

On the other hand maybe Ford should develop something like Amazon's Alexa, that can answer these questions audibly while you're driving. "Fordexa, when should I change my oil? I'm worried that I will drive past the change point on this trip and damage my engine"..."At your current speed, you should change your oil in 8,456 miles, or 120.8 hours."..."Thank you Fordexa, now I can relax and enjoy my 20 minute trip."

The "Oil Life" gauge is useless. Wait until you realize it doesn't seem to take into consideration Oil Level at all in its calculations
Basically its just one more of those things these days that dumbs down the details for those "too busy" to pay attention to such trivial matters
