Toyota vehicles can go for a long while without maintenance; however, once the oil needs to get changed it should be done right away to keep your car or truck up to its peek performance. Check your owner's manual to find out when to perform routine oil changes on your Toyota. Once the oil has been changed it is not complicated to reset the oil light on a Toyota if the mechanic or person who performed the oil change forgot to reset the light for you.
Sit in the driver's seat in your Toyota car or truck and look at the dash board. If your car has the check oil light on, turn the key in the ignition to the off position but make sure that you can still see the odometer reader.
Press down on the odometer's trip reset knob. Try to press on it for at least five seconds. According to the Synthetic direct website, if you are pressing the trip reset knob down when you start the car, the odometer will indicate "000000" and the oil light will go off.
Turn the car off again and then turn it on and look at your Toyota's dashboard. The Toyota oil light will be off. Consult your owner's manual for further details about turning the oil maintenance light off. Consult a mechanic who specializes in Toyota vehicles for further instructions if the oil light refuses to go off.
