I bought a used 2009 Dodge Avenger and it did not have an owners manual with it and was wondering how do you reset the “change oil” warning light. The old way of turning on the ignition and pumping the gas pedal does not work on this model. Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you.

Turn ignition switch to on position. Pump gas pedal three times within ten seconds. Turn switch off then on again. Then you can probably start the car. If the light flashes for a few seconds then stops (GM) you will know that it is reset. If it doesn’t flash, maybe it’s reset. If that doesn’t work, pull the fuse for the reset, start the car, shut it off and put the fuse back in. When that does’t work, look it up in a manual at the parts house.
