How to Reset the Oil Maintenance Light on a 2018–2024 Toyota Camry
Introduction
The 2018–2024 Camry uses a digital multi-information display with a dedicated Settings menu for maintenance reminders. After every oil change, you should reset both the oil maintenance and scheduled maintenance counters. Hence, your following reminders line up perfectly with Toyota’s intervals.
Tools and prep
- Smart key fob
- Vehicle in Park
- Familiarity with the steering wheel arrow and OK buttons
Step-by-step: Resetting oil maintenance via cluster
- Turn the car on
- Press the start button twice with your foot off the brake, or once with your foot on the brake to start the engine; either works for accessing the menus.
- Open the Settings menu.
- Use the left/right arrow buttons on the steering wheel to scroll through cluster screens until you reach the gear icon labeled “Settings.”
- Press OK to enter.
- Go to Vehicle Settings
- Scroll down to “Vehicle Settings” (icon often shows a car with a small gear) and press and hold or tap OK to enter.
- Select Scheduled Maintenance
- Scroll to “Scheduled Maintenance” and press OK.
- When the system asks whether you want to reset the data, choose “Yes,” then confirm.
- Reset Oil Maintenance
- In the same Vehicle Settings menu, scroll to “Oil Maintenance” or “Oil Maintenance Reset.”
- Select it, choose “Reset Data,” and confirm “Yes.”
- Confirm completion
- Exit back to the main display and check that the oil maintenance and scheduled maintenance messages are gone.
- If the countdown shows a fresh mileage (for example, 5,000 or 10,000 miles to next service), the reset worked.

Tips to keep your Camry on schedule
- Scheduled maintenance is typically every 5,000 miles, with oil changes often at 10,000 miles on specific engines and oil types; always follow the owner’s manual for your exact year and engine.
- Whenever you reset Oil Maintenance, it is wise to reset Scheduled Maintenance as well, so you do not get conflicting reminders.
If the reset does not work
- Double-check you are in the correct menu (Settings → Vehicle Settings → Maintenance) and not just the general information screens.
- If warnings persist after multiple correct attempts, there may be a sensor or system issue that needs evaluation by a professional technician.
