Disabling/turning Off The Oil Maintenance Altert

[ralphmonti]

I have an 06 GS 460 and wish to turn off/disable the annoying, every 5K oil maintenance reqd dash alert.

I've tried the manual's procedure--to no avail.

Does anyone have other suggestions?

Would be most grateful---thanks!

There are a couple of general threads out there about this procedure. Here is one:

Also, from another thread in this forum, someone searched and found the following:

For those of you who like I have a 2006 GS300[or GS430], the proceedure in the manual to reset the oil maintenance light (p. 87) is either wrong, or at best poorly worded. To reset this light:

1. With the car running set the odometer to display total vehicle miles - not to the trip odometer.

2. Shut the vehicle off.

3. With the trip odometer reset button held down, switch the vehicle to on (ie push the start button twice without your foot on the brake).

I dont think you can disable it, just reset it.
