2021-2023 Toyota Sienna Maintenance Light Reset Guide

This is a 2021 Toyota Sienna Hybrid, and today we’re going to reset the oil maintenance light. Basically, it is the same as 2019 and 2020, except you use the navigation buttons on the left hand. So this is how it’s done:

Toyota Sienna Oil Recommendation

The recommended oil type for the 2022 Toyota Siena is 0W-20 synthetic oil. This oil type is only the manufacturer-recommended oil. Keep in mind that the type of oil could change depending on your car’s driving style and mileage.

Although SAE 5W-20 is legal, its lower viscosity makes it less desirable. For the most part, oil’s viscosity may be measured by its oil weight at a specific temperature. “0” or “5 refer to viscosity at starting temperature, respectively. To put it another way, this implies that 5W-20 is at a disadvantage regarding engine wear. If your manufacturer recommends using the oil with the lowest number possible, you should always follow their advice.

FAQ – Toyota Sienna Maintenance Required

So that’s it. This could be done by yourself in a garage. You don’t need to take it to the dealer. They’ll charge you about half an hour which is, I think, 65 bucks, but you can see there’s no more message on the screen the car is running no more maintenance required light. This procedure, like I said, should work on most Toyota and Lexus. So thanks for reading and have a great day!
