Last Updated on December 15, 2021 by Nick
Hey guys! What’s up? Today I’m going to show you how to reset your oil maintenance light on a Nissan Sentra. This will be the same for any US model from 2013 to now.
The Sentra’s use a four-cylinder engine that asks you know in the five thousand or six-month time range to go ahead and do an oil change. This car got about forty-six hundred miles on it, but it’s past six months old, so it’s time for us to do an oil change and reset the system. So let’s go through the steps to reset it.
