How to Reset the Prius Maintenance Required Change Oil Light

The Maintenance required light is a reminder to change your oil at the recommended interval. It is not an indication of what the quality of your oil is, just a reminder. You should perform oil changes at the required interval and not rely on this method.

Things You'll Need

  • 5 minutes
  • Power the ignition on by pressing the power button twice and not stepping on the brake.
