How do you reset the oil life on a 2024–2025 Toyota Tacoma?

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 2024–2025 Toyota Tacoma?

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 2024–2025 Toyota Tacoma?

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 digital cluster tracks oil life and scheduled maintenance separately, reset 'Oil Maintenance' after an oil change; 'Scheduled Maintenance' after other services.
