Oil Service notification with Oil levels OK

[tnhendley]

So my Supra is saying I need to take my vehicle to get an oil service but the oil levels are saying OK. What does this mean???

It means what it says. To get an oil service

Maybe I should’ve been more detailed. The oil was already changed a few weeks ago

The level can be okay but over time the oil breaks down.

Just saw your updated post. Sounds like they didn’t reset the computer. Just make sure they actually did the oil change

did you successfully reset the oil life after the oil change?

They/you have to reset the maintenance computer or the car doesn't know it's oil has been changed.

Yeah the oil change service notification is purely Time-based and has no relation to the oil Level itself. So for example even if your oil was 5 years old, as long as it's full to the brim, and you ran the electronic oil check, it would say it's full / OK, but doesn't mean fresh/good.

So your oil is totally fine as you said you changed it, but the oil change reset procedure hasn't been done apparently. This can be done from home as well you need to cycle through the main driver display (Not the middle screen infotainment) using the tiny button on the bottom left.

If you then go to the infotainment vehicle status check, it will add 12 months to the next due date I believe (in some cases 24 months)

Manufacturers could save so much money by not providing owners manuals for their cars. Nobody reads them.

First page of owners manual: Step 1, Start as many oil threads as possible on the forums.

These oil posts are getting creative.

Well, it's OEMs fault for using ancient methods to portray information. Even in kindergarten kids have tablets and everything is interactive.
They should be making like YT infomercials.
You've got oil trouble eh? Let's see how duffy duck tackles it. But first let's sing the Which Oil fo ma Zupra song.

My kids would never look for an owners manual or know there is one tbh. I’m surprised there’s not a QR code slapped on the dash for a sponsored TikTok video
