3k miles for an oil change they say, well that was 40k miles ago and 3 years and still not changed the oil in my car, trying to prove the industry wrong about how long it will last. so far so good.
That is a 5,000 mile maintenance light telling you to go spend $20.00 and change the oil. I have checked it at 5,000 miles before and notice that the oil isn't black yet... hell it hasn't even gotten dark yet. I change it anyway. Its only 4 qts, 3.7 to be precise.
When the computer does not tell you exactly what the problem is your scammed. Prius has two lights now. Maintenence is really oil change and check engine is any one of a lot of problems. They seem to want your oil change at 5000 miles/8000km. I think it should still be 3000 miles. They just don't want your engine to last long.
Hey dumbasses hold down the reset on trip odometer while turning the ignition on. It either has to be on trip a or trip b or the odometer setting. The button has to be pushed and held before you turn the ignition and don't start the engine.
@todbrilliant No one is perfect. Try to do what you can instead of judging people. Bottle water is a great idea if you cannot find clean tap water. Bottle water any day over soda and sugar drinks.
ARE YOU FOR REALZ? maint req light is for oil. it means you need to get your oil changed.

1) READ THE MANUAL. That's what its there for!
2) That light turns on every 5k miles and reminds you that you need to CHANGE THE OIL.
3) The manual also tells you how to reset the reminder light.

Wow! You don't know how to take your car in for basic maintenance. Then you actually advertise that fact by posting it on YouTube! You're so smart!!

You just need a oil change or rest the reminder. My 05 Corolla has that light too. Nothing is wrong with you car.
