CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON message...
... comes on with every start. It has happened for the last few days.
The oil and filter were changed less than 2000 miles ago. I reset it each time but comes back. Is there any way to remove this message other resetting each time? Thanks.

There should be instructions in the owners manual to reset it yourself. I do it on the Fords I have where I change my own oil but I don't remember the procedure.
It's more detailed than just hitting the reset button.

2k7gtcs, is correct. Here are the steps that show in your manual: To reset the oil monitoring system to 100% after each oil change perform the following: 1. Press and release SETUP to display “OIL LIFE XXX% HOLD RESET = NEW”. 2. Press and hold RESET for two seconds and release to reset the oil life to 100%. You can also access your manual here: http://owner.ford.com/servlet/Conten...&model=Mustang.
