    Thanks. However, you left out the very last step: heavy drinking

    Based on what I read over at Bob is the oil guy.com, I believe Toyota oil is made by Mobil and is Mobil 1

    I now have 5027 miles on my IV and am scheduled for an oil change tomorrow. I was getting a warning box, now I get a "oil maintenance required". After the change, what turns off the warning boxes?

    Thanks,

    Rich N.

    The oil change person usually resets the warning light.

    If he forgets to do it the procedure is on page 420 of the manual.

    $79 is a reasonable price considering that synthetic oil is required.
