Good day, young man! So today, when I start up my car, I have maintenance required soon. And now we’re going to let that oil maintenance light get reset on my Toyota RAV4. It’s pretty easy to do that.

They might charge you a lot for this and a lot of times we don’t really need it. So now, let’s teach you how to reset this light.
