Reset Guide: Toyota Corolla Oil Maintenance Light (2003-2022)

How’s it going, everybody? Today I want to show you how to reset oil maintenance required light on a Toyota Corolla. This light comes on when your vehicle is due for an oil change.

So when you turn on the car, you’ll see that the light is continuously on without going off if you don’t reset the light. What happens is that every 5,000 miles, you have to reset this light in order for that light to go away. So let me show you what it’s doing.
