Default Annoying Oil Maintenance Reminder

My dealer changed my oil about 5000 ago and now there is a annoying oil maintenance reminder in the multi-info display. The GX only needs to have it's oil changed every 10,000 miles and I have scheduled a reminder in the reminder vehicle section of the reminder screen. I followed the instruction in the manual to remove the oil reminder out of the multi-info display but it does not work. Does anyone know how to remove the reminder? I have a feeling that the dealer put it in the display and only they can remove it. Thanks guys.

4. While holding the ODO/TRIP button, and WITHOUT PRESSING THE BRAKE, push the ignition button twice, do not release the ODO/TRIP.
5. You'll see the Oil Maintenance dialogue in the center of the instrument cluster resetting. Release the ODO/TRIP when the dialogue is finished.
6. You're Done!

BTW, here's how to do it:
1. Start car
2. Scroll thru the gauge cluster menu until it is a blank screen
3. Turn off car
4. Press and hold ODO/Trip button
5. Push ignition button two times to the on position (without foot on brake)
6. Keep holding ODO/trip and should see oil resetting
7. Keep holding until you see oil reset COMPLETE
Go have fun

Default Oil Maintenance Required

Ok, we all know the GX has 10,000 mile oil change intervals, so why does my oil maintenance required message pop up every 5,000 miles? It's annoying.

I don't know what year your vehicle is, they changed it after the first six months of the 2010 model year to 10,000 miles.

Strange, I would ask the dealer next time you have it in for service....
Maybe they can reprogram it.

I have a 2012 as well and the reminder comes on every 5K. I just disable it and keep driving till I need to change the oil at 10K.

I'm going to reset it myself but it's annoying, it's like they want you to come back and spend money that isn't needed. Seems like a ploy to me. I'm just wondering if there is a way to set it to come on every 10k as it is supposed to.

Default 2011 GX 460 info missing from the manual

The piece missing from the manual is that Trip A needs to be displayed on the odometer before starting the procedure.

By the way, you can download the manual if you register on the Lexus official site. Kind of a pain, because you have to download each section (which is poorly described in the file names), but it is there.
