I get many calls a week for this procedure...
This is really easy! Follow these directions:

Turn the key ON

Look at the odometer, and verify that it displays "ODO" and the total mileage traveled. If it is on "Trip A" or "Trip B", press the black stick next to the odometer to read "ODO", and the total miles traveled.

Turn the key OFF.

Press in, and HOLD the black trip meter reset button, hold it in.
DO not release it.

Turn the key ON

Observe the Odometer display. The total mileage traveled will disappear, and you will see 5 dashes, then 4, then 3, then 2, then 1 dash, and finally, 5 zeros. Then, the total mileage traveled will redisplay.

Release the black trip meter reset stick.

This completes the reset procedure, and it will be back on in 5,000 miles, to remind you of you next oil changeHow do I turn-off my Maint. Need light after I - 2.gif.

Hope this helps!

Where is the reset button to reset the service indicator light after an oil change? I see instructions on how to do it, but I don't know where the reset button is located.

Here's how you get reset the MAINT REQD light:

1) put the key to the ON position
2) press the mileage reset button on your cluster so it shows total mileage (not trip)
3) put the key to the OFF position
4) press and hold down the mileage reset button, leave it pressed
5) put the key to the ON position
6) wait until the mileage shows 000000 and you can stop pressing the ODO button

If that doesn't work, consult this
