My oil needs to be changed every 10K miles. Maintenance light came on at the 5K point. I ignored it for a couple of thousand miles. If I reset it now, will it reset fo 5K more miles?
On the 2020 Prius, you turn on the hybrid system, select the “gear” icon, and the you can reset the maintance indicator.
Awesome, thank you! Super quick fix.
