1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position.
Do not start the engine.
2. Fully depress the accelerator pedal slowly three
times within 10 seconds.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF/LOCK position.
NOTE: If the indicator message illuminates when you
start the vehicle, the oil change indicator system did not
reset. If necessary, repeat this procedure.

That is a C&P from the manual.
You probably aren't holding your mouth properly, you have to sort of scrunch up your lips, between a "getting ready to whistle" and a "I smelled a fart" kind of thing.
Then it works for sure.

Unless your Patriot is white.
Then I don't know what to do.

Yep, what Metaxa said. I know in works on a Mineral Grey Metallic, 2011, Patriot Latitude, with 4X4 and manual transmission...

I don't know for sure if it works on White Pats...

Only on a Stone White Patriot. All others require the window to be down too.

When all else fails, read your owner's manual. It might change from one year to another.
