To reset the oil change system, follow the procedure below:
1. Turn the engine switch OFF
2. While pressing the trip meter reset **** (-->P.100), set the engine switch to the IG-ON mode. Continue to press and hold the **** until the trip meter displays 000000.
So in other words:
- engine off
- hold down trip meter reset
- tap the start/stop button twice, making sure your foot is off the brake, and continue to hold down the button until the display resets.

Hmm this has been discussed several times before starting with the 2004 models. A simple search would have yielded you the answer.

When you're about 50 miles near the actual interval, the light stays on until it's reset.
False: The service reminder light for Lexus and Toyota vehicles DOES NOT operate by driving style calculations.
Fact: the service reminder light for Lexus and Toyota vehicles on 2004 and newer models operate at 5,000 mile intervals regardless of driving style.
To reset: It's listed in your OWNERS manual maintenance. All you need to do is hold the tripmeter button down with the key in the ignition in the OFF position. As you are holding down the tripmeter button, turn the key to the ON position. If the Odometer zeros out and the light flashes a couple times, the light should be reset.

when the car is on and running, make sure the odo in displayed, just the actual odo and not the trip mileage. Then shut the car completely off. Then hold the button and turn the car to the ON position, which involves pressing the button twice with your foot OFF the brake. A second or 2 after you turn the car to ON, the maint light resets. Then you just hit the brake and start the car
