How to Reset the Oil Life Indicator on a 2020–2025 Toyota Corolla

Which Toyota Corolla model years does this cover?

These oil life reset specifications apply to every Toyota Corolla built from 2020 through 2025 — the E210 (12th generation), compact sedan (tnga-c platform; the corolla hatchback, sold from 2019, shares this platform and most service parts). Nothing in this specification changes between those model years. Pick your year for the engines it offered, what changed that year, and the problems recorded against it.

What changed during the 2020–2025 Toyota Corolla

• 2020Generation launch on TNGA-C: 1.8L (L/LE), 2.0L Dynamic Force (SE/XSE/XLE), and the first US Corolla Hybrid (LE, 121 hp combined). All-LED lighting, four-wheel discs, and LN-format batteries across the board.
• 2021Android Auto joins Apple CarPlay as standard; minor equipment shuffles only
• 2023Mid-cycle update: new fascias, 8-in touchscreen with Toyota's new multimedia system, Toyota Safety Sense 3.0; hybrid gains SE/XLE trims, available electronic on-demand AWD, and combined output rises to 134–138 hp; the 6-speed manual and the 2.0L Apex edition are dropped
• 2024-2025Carryover years; hatchback continues alongside the sedan with the 2.0L only
• 2024US L trim dropped; all remaining trims standard with automatic climate control, an 8-in touchscreen, and keyless entry; new GR Corolla-inspired front-end styling
• 2025FX Special Edition trim debuts; a larger 10.5-in touchscreen becomes available

How do you reset the oil life on a 2020–2025 Toyota Corolla?

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 2020–2025 Toyota Corolla?

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 2020–2025 Toyota Corolla?

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. All E210 Corollas (gas and hybrid) use this display-menu method, the old ignition-cycle trip-meter trick from 2019-and-earlier Corollas does not apply.
