As been mentioned before Euro6 (and 5+ ?) have oil degradation software which have to be reset on oil change.
Question how do i do it? This is a long one
What software and hardware?
1 MultiECUscan windows 10 laptop (other flavours windows http://www.multiecuscan.net) OBD2 connector. I have a OBDlink SX usb adaptor. Does an awful lot.
The hardware and software bundle is available from Distributors Gendan, software only £50 mulecuscan.
2 Alternative is AlfaOBD on windows and android. I have run the Demo version on a Samsung phone with The orig SX adaptor and a micro-usb adaptor.
Currently £31 on the playstore
<Broken link removed>
3 Theres another kid on the block Monitor ECU for Fiat cars By Kapron-AP
ANdroid only Currently £12 on the playstore But Bluetooth only.
There are shedloads of cheap ELM327Bluetooth adaptors that work with Generic OBD but bot specific Fiat codes and PIDs.
OBD-II PIDs (On-board diagnostics Parameter IDs) are codes used to request data from a vehicle,
The recomended BT adaptors can be upwards of £50 or a tenner if you are lucky.
Recently i seen a french video using Mes and a BT adaptor same as recommended by alfaobd and Kapron The Vgate-iCarPro £24 from ebay
So another £12 later
This is the cheap software connected using the icar pro. My description in yellow
a couple of more screens
Error screen also has the oil reset option. I have not yet tried this.
4 can i use the Blutooth device with Multecuscan and AlfaOBD
YES
Using MES we have to got to settings and the interface screen and then (red oval scan for interfaces, my 2 are not in the dropdown menu)
You still here.
well done. What works? All the options i have shown.
All 3 work with the Bluetooth device (today at least)
The Monitor ECU for Fiat cars By Kapron-AP only talks to the engine ECU but lots of fiat PIDs (4 pages) this is quite limited (but does the important oil reset)
Both Multecuscan and AlfaOBD are full function diagnostic tools for all ecu ( i have not checked all with the BT device)
Hope this helps anyone who is wondering if theres a more frugal way to do your oil reset.
Having seen what Multecuscan and AlfaOBD can do i would suggest Multecuscan and AlfaOBD Demo and Blue tooth device. Using AlfaOBD and phone on the road, if required whist out and about down load it then or spend an extra 30 quid now.
