Replying to: disco340 (Feb 09, 2006 5:03 pm) Oops. 2006 Avalon Touring. I stopped by for my 'free oil change' and the wait was two hours. I suppose the whole reset story was to get me back versus going to a quick lube. Thanks for any help.

Replying to: aqwplymouth (Feb 09, 2006 4:54 pm) See page 153 of your owner's manual under "Engine Oil Replacement Reminder Light". It has the instructions for resetting the service light. In summary: 1. With engine running make sure that the odometer mileage reading is showing, not Trip A or B. 2. Turn engine off. 3. Turn ignition switch to ON position while holding down the tripmeter reset knob and continue to hold the knob down for at least 5 seconds until the odometer shows all zeros. Reminder light should go off. 4. If the light continues flashing, repeat procedure. Replies to this message: aqwplymouth (Feb 09, 2006 9:26 pm)

Replying to: alan_s (Feb 09, 2006 6:37 pm) Alan_S Thanks for the post. I knew the service manager was giving me a line. Alas, I'm more the typical male in that I refuse to read the manual nor ask for directions! Now I can save $20 and bypass the dealer on the oil change. Thanks again.

I know folks have mentioned this but for 30 yrs Ive only dealt with spin on filters..Could someone go step by step how to replace the cartridge?? I know where it is located.. Do I need to remove the center slot to drain the oil first?? Please go over the sequence..Thanks folks
#183 of 290 maintainance required light by mgold1 Apr 02, 2006 (12:02 pm)
I own a 2005 Avalon and I can't seem to turn out the "Maint. required" light. I know that it turns on by itself to remind you to change the oil. I change the oil at more frequent mileage (3000), and I press the odo button for several seconds but I can't get the light to go out. Any suggestions?

Replying to: mgold1 (Apr 02, 2006 12:02 pm) mgold1: In my 06 Owners Manual, the instructions are on page 153---or go to #111 in the Care & Maint Forum--hope this helps! Bob

Replying to: avalong06 (Apr 15, 2006 2:57 pm) I believe you will find the Avalon takes just over 6 quarts of oil...not 5. You might want to check your oil level.
