To reset the oil light on a 2018 Infiniti Q50, navigate through your oil and filter settings on the dashboard touchscreen until you reach the “Reset Distance” button.
A car’s oil light turns on to notify you that your vehicle needs its oil changed—but it won’t automatically turn off once it’s been completed. Instead, you’ll have to dig into your car’s settings yourself to reset the light, but it’s not always an easy find.
How to reset the engine oil maintenance light on a 2018 Infiniti Q50
Infiniti’s internal maintenance system helps you stay up to date on the general services your Q50 needs—but the system needs resetting after each oil change to track the correct mileage interval between changes.
Fortunately, resetting this is a relatively simple process and can be done in just a few clicks of your dashboard touchscreen. Here is what to do:
- Start by clicking the “Home Menu” button
- Tap “Settings” to open your full list of customizable options
- Click “Meter” and then “Maintenance”
- Next, find and tap “Oil and Filter”
- Finally, click “Reset Distance” to bring your mileage interval back to zero
Click the “Back” button until you return to the main menu, and your oil reset will save. The next time your car is due for an oil change, this light should again illuminate, reminding you to get fresh oil and a new filter. Staying diligent with resetting your oil light can prevent bigger issues down the road.
