    I believe your owners manual will tell you what's going on and how to reset it.

    Im going to take a shot in the dark and say this is a used truck and they didnt reset it at the last oil change.

    Hoping this is the same thing for mine. I only have put 1800 miles on my Tacoma since buying it. Its an 2010 and I have a feeling they didn't reset at last oil change. Called up to get service records(mofo's didnt put in an oil sticker) to find out last oil change and I am not due for another 1000 or so miles. Probably just going to do a reset and keep fingers crossed.

    Just talked to them. I have over 1000 miles before I am due for an oil change. They must have just forgotten to reset it. Thanks
