Lexus LS: How To Reset Oil Maintenance Required Light (2007-2021)

Hello, what’s up everybody. In this post, I want to talk a lot about resetting the oil maintenance required light on the Lexus LS, whether it’s the LS460, LS600h, even the latest LS500.

So the reason we’re doing this is when I start the car, we are getting oil maintenance required message. Now I do regular intervals for oil changes on this car, so now we can continue to reset the system.
