2010-2021 Lexus GX 460 Maintenance Required Light Reset Guide

The Lexus GX is an SUV manufactured by Lexus since 2002 and mainly distributed in North America and Russia. On this occasion, I will try to explain to you how to reset the maintenance required light on the second generation of Lexus GX 460.

Today I turned on my car, and I get this on my diagnostic screen; it says maintenance required, which means it’s time for me to change the engine oil. So I already changed my oil go according to what Lexus recommends. I actually change it every thousand miles instead of 7,500 or 10,000 or whatever they prescribe; by using photosynthetic, I change mine at 5,000, so I always got to reset these things.
