I need to know how to reset the amber dash light staying on that signifies the oil needs changing. Also would like your opinion on the best thing to use on battery cables/cable ends/boxes after I clean all the corrosion off. I've completely cleaned them before and sprayed them with Rustoleum primer spray but the corrosion keeps coming back on everything (positive cable end only, not negative).

Check your owners manual for the light reset procedure.

You can buy a spray protectant for the battery at most autoparts stores.

Not specific to this vehicle. Ask the dealer service, they should show you the procedure for free.
