In my chevy suburban, I had to cycle the key on-off-of and mash the gas peddle 3 times in 5 second (I think). It was described in the owners maual. I'd look there for some info. Or call the ford dealer?
Stole this from somewhere else. Figured it was general Ford stuff, worth a try.
There are three types of dashes
Oil Life Reset - Message Center Cluster
Press and release the SETUP button until the message center displays OIL LIFE XXX% HOLD RESET = NEW OIL.
Press and hold the RESET button for 2 seconds and release when the message center displays OIL LIFE SET TO XXX%.
Press and release the SETUP button to exit the procedure.
Oil Life Reset - Base Instrument Cluster (IC)
NOTE: All message center functions are carried out using the single stem SELECT/RESET button in the Instrument Cluster (IC).
Press and release the SELECT/RESET button to scroll through the information displays until the message center displays HOLD RESET FOR SETUP MENU.
Press and hold the SELECT/RESET button for approximately 2 seconds until the message center displays OIL LIFE XXX% HOLD RESET = NEW.
Press and hold the SELECT/RESET button for approximately 2 seconds until the message center displays OIL LIFE SET TO XXX%.
Release the SELECT/RESET button and allow the setup timer to expire to exit the procedure.
Oil Life Start Value - Message Center Cluster
Press and release the SETUP button until the message center displays OIL LIFE XXX% HOLD RESET = NEW OIL.
Press and hold the RESET button for 2 seconds and release when the message center displays OIL LIFE SET TO XXX%.
Press and release the RESET button to decrease the oil life start value (from 100% to 10%) for each 10% reduction until the desired oil life start value is displayed.
Press and release the SETUP button to exit the procedure.
Oil Life Start Value - Base Instrument Cluster (IC)

Press and release the SELECT/RESET button to scroll through the information displays until the message center displays HOLD RESET FOR SETUP MENU.
Press and hold the SELECT/RESET button for approximately 2 seconds until the message center displays OIL LIFE XXX% HOLD RESET = NEW.
Press and hold the SELECT/RESET button for approximately 2 seconds until the message center displays OIL LIFE SET TO XXX%.

Continue to hold the SELECT/RESET button until the oil life begins to decrease in value (from 100% down to 10%), continuing to hold until the desired start value is displayed.
Release the SELECT/RESET button and allow the setup timer to expire to exit the procedure.
