Reset procedure, 2018–2024 Toyota Camry
High confidence- Turn the ignition to ON (press START twice without touching the brake)
- Use the left/right arrows on the steering wheel to scroll the multi-information display (gauge cluster) to the gear/cog Settings screen
- Scroll down with the up/down arrows and select "Scheduled Maintenance" (the 5,000-mile MAINT REQD reminder) or "Oil Maintenance" (the 10,000-mile oil-change reminder)
- Press and hold the center OK button on the steering wheel
- When the reset prompt appears, select "Yes" and press OK to confirm
The XV70 dropped the old trip-meter hold trick. Resets live in the cluster's Settings (gear icon) menu. There are two separate counters: reset "Oil Maintenance" only after an actual oil change, and "Scheduled Maintenance" after 5,000-mile service. Same procedure for gas and hybrid.

2018–2024 Toyota Camry oil life reset: common questions
How do you reset the oil life on a 2018–2024 Toyota Camry?
- 5 steps, using only the controls in the car, the full sequence is above.
Do you need a scan tool to reset the oil light on a 2018–2024 Toyota Camry?
- 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 2018–2024 Toyota Camry?
- 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. The XV70 dropped the old trip-meter hold trick. Resets live in the cluster's Settings (gear icon) menu. There are two separate counters: reset "Oil Maintenance" only after an actual oil change, and "Scheduled Maintenance" after 5,000-mile service. Same procedure for gas and hybrid.
