2018-2022 Subaru Crosstrek Oil Life/Maintenance Light Reset Guide

Good day, Subaru fam! Today I have a Subaru Crosstrek hybrid, showing you how to reset the oil life. It was a little tricky, but I found it, and I saw no content on doing it.

So I am making this content because I couldn’t find the proper instructions for resetting the oil life on a 2018 Subaru Crosstrek. I finally got it figured out, so I just thought I’d make a short post. So let’s get into it.

2018-2022 Subaru Crosstrek Oil Life/Maintenance Light Reset Guide

Time needed: 3 minutes

Alright, here we’ve got a 2019 Subaru Crosstrek, and we’ll just be done the service on it. It’s literally about 9,000 kilometers, so we’re going to reset an oil light even though it hasn’t come on. So the first step you need to do is:

  1. Turn on your car without starting the engine

    The first thing you want to do is get the ignition on but don’t start the engine. So with the START button, you’re going to double click

  2. Go to Selection Screen

    Then we’re going to be using the center screen on the dashboard and the way you navigate through that setting is from the INFO button here. So you just keep clicking the INFO button till you reach this screen

  3. Hold down the INFO button

    Next, you just push and hold INFO and you’ll be in the Selection Screen

  4. Scroll down and select the MAINTENANCE

    Now you navigate with the ▲or▼ buttons to MAINTENANCE and click the SET button to get in

  5. Select the ENGINE OIL

    From there you’ll select the ENGINE OIL

  6. Set the reminder

    At this point, you can set the date or the distance manually or you can select UPDATE if you want to set it automatically

So that’s how the oil reset is done on this vehicle. If you have 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 model years, it will be a similar procedure. One more thing and in the maintenance and the on-up, make sure your maintenance is actually on and not off. I’ll set that to be safe. Thanks for your time, and have a wonderful day.
