If you are doing that, then I have no clue!
The Daimler Boys must have been drinking heavy that night, when settling on 3 floor accelerations. I'll bet one of those goofs dropped his bottle of vino between the seats and had to reach over - creating movement with his foot, when settling-on the new OLM Setting.
It may have been a drunk party celebrating the name change from Daimler-Chrysler to Chrysler Inc. I think that was mid 2007, when the 2008 models were already coming on the market. I'm guessing Jeep was involved too.
I loved the 3 pumps to the gas pedal method, because between almost every gm and Chrysler product using that method, half the vehicles we changed the oil on that actually had an olm were just 3 pumps. Easiest thing ever for a guy working in a quick lube trying to quickly reset the oil life.
Almost every other system was complicated to figure out if you hadn't done it before, except for Fords, but they still took longer than 3 pumps.
Try having a line up of cars to change the oil on (about 25-30 minutes each to do it properly) and have to look up the oil life reset properly, then make fun of the 3 pump method. Lol.
I'm glad these days I only change the oil on my vehicles and my girlfriend's sisters.
