Hi and thank you for using JustAnswer. The oil change required notice will come up if it wasn't reset during the last oil change or if it is actually time for an oil change. Here's the reset procedure to turn it off:
Only reset the oil life monitoring system after changing the [engine oil and oil filter](https://my.alldata.com/repair/#/repair/vehicle/56791/component/484/filter/).
1. Switch the ignition on. Do not start the engine. For vehicles with push-button start, press and hold the start button for two seconds without pressing the brake pedal. Do not start the engine.
2. Press the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time.
3. Keep the accelerator and brake pedals fully pressed.
4. After three seconds, a message confirming that the reset is in progress will be displayed.
5. After 25 seconds, a message confirming that the reset is complete will be displayed.
6. Release the accelerator and brake pedals.
7. The message confirming that the reset is complete will no longer be displayed.
8. Switch the ignition off. For vehicles with push-button start, press the start button to switch the ignition off.
