No. The procedure above uses the vehicle's own controls. A scan tool is only necessary if the reset does not take, which usually points at a different fault. ### Why won't the oil light reset on a Nissan Rogue? Almost always a timing problem in the sequence, a step held too briefly, or the ignition in the wrong position. Repeat it exactly, with the engine off and the key in accessory rather than run, unless the steps say otherwise. Same menu also holds Tire and custom 'Other' reminders, and lets you change the reminder distance. The reminder is a mileage countdown, not an oil-condition sensor, reset it only after actually changing the oil. Applies to both the 7-in and 12.3-in cluster displays, 2021-2025. ## Sources - [Nissan USA Newsroom, 2021 Rogue press kit (181-hp 2.5L, LED headlights standard)](https://usa.nissannews.com/en-US/releases/2021-nissan-rogue-press-kit) - [AMSOIL lookup, 2021 Rogue 2.5L PR25DD (0W-20, 5.4 qt) and 2023 Rogue 1.5L KR15DDT (0W-20, 5 qt)](https://www.amsoil.com/lookup/auto-and-light-truck/2023/nissan-datsun/rogue/1-5l-3-cyl-engine-code-kr15ddt-3-turbo/) - [Nissan Parts, 15208-65F1E oil filter (2022+ Rogue 1.5L)](https://parts.nissanusa.com/parts/nissan-oil-filter-1520865f1e) - [NHTSA Part 573 report, recall 25V-437, VC-Turbo engine bearing failure](https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2025/RCLRPT-25V437-3628.pdf) - [NHTSA recall 26V-080, 2023-2025 Rogue 1.5L VC-Turbo oil breakdown/bearing seizure (expands 25V-437)](https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls?nhtsaId=26V080000) - [NHTSA recall 26V-081, 2024-2025 Rogue electronic throttle body gears](https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls?nhtsaId=26V081000) - [NHTSA recall 21V-957, 2021 Rogue fuel pump](https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls?nhtsaId=21V957000) - [Car and Driver, Nissan recalls 444K vehicles for VC-Turbo engine failure (incl. investigation closure update)](https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a65299070/nissan-rogue-altima-infiniti-qx50-gx55-engine-failure-recall/) - [fueleconomy.gov, 2021 and 2022 Nissan Rogue EPA ratings](https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/bymodel/2022_Nissan_Rogue.shtml) - [Wheel-Size.com, 2022 Nissan Rogue OE fitments (235/65R17, 235/60R18, 235/55R19)](https://www.wheel-size.com/size/nissan/rogue/2022/) - [Hove Nissan, 2021 Rogue towing capacity (1,350 lb)](https://www.hovenissan.com/hove-il/research-rogue-towing) ## Find your exact Rogue - [2025](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/rogue/2025) - [2024](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/rogue/2024) - [2023](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/rogue/2023) - [2022](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/rogue/2022) - [2021](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/rogue/2021) - [2020](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/rogue/2020) - [2019](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/rogue/2019) - [2018](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/rogue/2018) - [2017](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/rogue/2017) - [2016](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/rogue/2016) - [2015](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/rogue/2015) - [2014](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/rogue/2014) - [2013](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/rogue/2013) - [2012](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/rogue/2012) More Nissan Rogue guides: - [Oil & filter](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/rogue/oil) - [Battery](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/rogue/battery) - [Tires & wheels](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/rogue/tires) - [Wiper blades](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/rogue/wipers) - [Air & cabin filters](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/rogue/filters) - [Bulbs](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/rogue/bulbs) - [Brakes](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/rogue/brakes) - [Fluids](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/rogue/fluids) - [Service schedule](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/rogue/service-schedule) - [Problems & reliability](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/rogue/common-problems) - [Key fob battery](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/rogue/key-fob-battery) - [Specs](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/nissan/rogue/specs) Specifications vary with engine option, production date, and market.
