Toyota RAV4: How To Reset Oil Maintenance Light (2006-2022)

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.

By the way, this would usually pop up every 5,000 miles where the Toyota dealership would set it so that you would go back to do like a tire rotation or any other inspection. 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.
