When I mentioned it to my dealer, which I don't see often, he said you could try a piece of black tape over it until you change the oil.
There is probably a sensor in the oil pan.....I can understand Toyota wanting its customers to change there oil at a specified mileage, it may be a requirement for leased vehicles too. Jeff 06,V6,4x4 SR5, 6spd Brilliant red |

Black tape? With my luck it would leave some yucky adhesive on the plastic that would smear when I tried to clean it.....better not go there

BTW, my light will reset without actually changing the oil. Don't know if you guys were joking about that or not...

You do not have to have the oil changed then reset the light. I changed my oil at 3002 miles (used Amsoil) and hit the ole reset, low and behold at 7502 miles the light started to go blinky blinky. I just reset it and did her second oil change with Amsoil at 8000 miles. I'll wait until 12,002 miles and it starts blinking again to reset it.
Black tape? WTMF? Seriously?? I would be searching for a new dealership after I heard that comment.

OK ! So we won't use black tape but how about if you cut a business card down to fit it just right and colored it black ? Or a small piece of black cloth?
My truck , as you know is a 06 and in between the first and 2nd oil change I did try to reset it, just the way in the instructions ..... I definately will try it again, but not today as it is absolutely pouring out side, we in New England are getting hammered by some tropical rainstorm that has swept up the east coast. 5 inches of rain expected over three days.....making it tough for a fisherman like me to get any relaxation. So I will try the reset next time I get in the truck. In reality my dealership does very good work as far as I know, now I don't usually visit the dealership, as I like to use a independent mechanic figuring the dealerships (as a whole ) have taken the public for a ride many times. My mechanic that I trust was unhappy to see me buy a Taco, as he said his income would drop since I was not bringing my 96 Monte Carlo around anymore, just a little joke, when I told him I was dumping my GM product for a new Taco truck he was all for it.

OMG, thank you for this thread. I called the dealer to get how to reset Main Reqd, as I knew it was a reminder. They insisted I had to come in for it. What a joke! Thank you!
