Page 122 of owner's manual: The system must be reset after the engine oil replacement. Reset the system by the following procedure: 1. Press the “POWER†switch to the “OFF†mode with the odometer reading shown. (For details, see “Odometer and two trip meters†on page 115.) 2. Press the “POWER†switch twice to select the “IG–ON†mode while holding down the trip meter reset button. Hold down the button for at least 5 seconds. The odometer indicates “000000†and the light goes off. If the system fails to reset, the light will remain flashing.
Thank you DanMann32. I just got my second oil change. I reset the reminder after the first, so I know this info is somewhere in owner's manual, but I can not find it. I came here today to ask this question myself and saw that you have already answered it.
Just note, if you reset it late or early, it will start blinking at 4500 miles from last reset, and become steady at 5000 miles, which may not coincide with the actual mileage to have the oil changed. Nobody's going to bother you though if you are a few hundred miles off.
I just bought my used '04 Prius in January and had this same question. Thanks for the answer...this forum is a goldmine for information!
Are you changing your own oil? If you are going to a dealer,the tech should be resetting it for you. If not ask them to do it, 8) . But I guess it is nice to know anyway, :lol:
