And remember, we change our oil 1/2 as often as a typical vehicle, so that helps. Good Luck w/ what ever you decide.
There's no reason why you should've known to read between the lines. No problem.
I went to AutoZone and the guy there said that if I disconnect the battery and all that, it wouldn't make a difference because the info is stored once the light is activated. (I didn't tell him what I was doing, I went in to ask what tool I needed to disconnect the battery cable - yes, I'm that dumb - and he knew right away why I wanted to do that.) I then went to visit a guy that has a tire business who knows cars very well, and he told me the same thing. I then went to a mechanic and spent 3 hrs there. He said that the oil was low - even though I had someone check it 2 days ago. He changed the oil and said that was the only code he was getting - low oil. I told him that wasn't possible because the light had been on for 3 yrs and I've changed the oil numerous times. Of course, after all that and $65 later, the check engine light came on when I took it to get inspected.
I give up. I'm taking it to a Chrysler dealer tomorrow. I'm sure I can kiss at least $1,000 goodbye. This is why I regret ever buying this car. No one knows how to deal with it except a dealer, everything is a big deal, everything is a mystery. I'm ready to torch the thing.
