Just picked up a pre owned 2011 Apex XTX and the gauge is flashing OIL along with code 00018. I checked the oil level and it's half way up the dip stick? Anyone know what code 18 means? Thanks in advance.
Finally had a change to look at the manual and can see it's just the oil change warning with numbers of miles ridden since light came on. Thought it was a code. Will do an oil change this weekend and reset the warning light.

If this was truly a Code 18 it would be the EX-UP Server Motor is stuck. Could be a cable issue.

On my 2013 sled it means your 18 miles over due on your oil change. It starts from 00000 when you hit 2500 miles. If you hold the reset button down you can clear it out.
