How To Reset Maintenance Oil Light On Nissan Pathfinder (2013-2022)

Good day, Nissan fam! Today I’m getting ready to reset the maintenance oil light in a Nissan Pathfinder; it has a 3.5 in it. This procedure should be the same from a 2013 Pathfinder up to the current model year, which is now 2022 at the date of this post.

One thing in mind you can turn the maintenance light on or turn it off in this particular vehicle. If you turn it off, they don’t have to get that warning light every few months, but that’s an option. But if you turn it on and you have a warning light, this is where I come in and show you how to reset it.

With Steering Button

Time needed: 3 minutes

There are two ways to do it you can either do it with navigation or the dash screen. But in this section, I will use the buttons on the steering wheel first. So let’s go for it.

Turn on the car without started
First, you’re gonna turn the vehicle to the run position but you’re not going to turn the engine on
Go to the SETTINGS
Then you’re gonna do is you can use the ❏ button here this is your menu button. You’re gonna press it to scroll all the way over to the ⚙️ SETTINGS
Scroll down to the MAINTENANCE
Next, you’re gonna use the keypad and you’re gonna go down to get the MAINTENANCE and then you’re gonna press ENTER
Get in SERVICE
From there you can go ahead and enter into the SERVICE
Choose RESET or set the distance
At this point you can adjust the interval or you can go down to RESET and you enter on that and it would reset

With Navigation Display

First, put the key in the ignition and get the ignition on
Then you’re going to go over to the center display and hit the INFO button

Go down to MAINTENANCE and hit ENTER
Select ENGINE OIL
From there hit ENTER again on the RESET DISTANCE and the distance has been reset now

2022 Pathfinder (R53)

Get in the car and turn it on
Then you’re going to start with these buttons on the steering. This is how you’re going to navigate everything, so if you scroll to the right you’ll eventually get the menu with the ⚙️ gear. This will be all your settings so press OK

Next, you’re going to want to scroll down until you see MAINTENANCE and hit OK
For your normal oil change service, it’ll be the first option which is SERVICE and you’re going to press OK
At this point, you’re going to press OK to reset
Confirm reset by selecting YES and you’re done

So that’s how you basically do it, guys. If you do any other service or want to set the intervals for them, they’ll all be in the same menu, and you want to return to the main menu by hitting the Back button. Thank you so much for coming along on my site, and have a great day.
