How to reset the engine oil maintenance light on a 2021 Kia Seltos

While your Kia’s service reminder light can help you keep up to date on regular maintenance, it can become annoying if it won’t turn off—even after all your maintenance has been completed.

If you need to reset your Kia to track the correct interval between oil changes, follow the steps below:

Ensure your Kia is in Park and all doors are closed

Turn on the ignition but do not start the engine

Press the MODE button located on the steering wheel to navigate to the User Settings menu

When you see SERVICE IN displayed, press and hold the OK button to reset the service interval

Turn off the ignition

The service required system in your Kia will reset to 100%. The next time you need an oil change, your Kia’s service system will reflect the correct interval and prompt you accordingly.

How often does a 2021 Kia Seltos need an oil change?

Kia recommends replacing your oil and filter every 7,500 miles to keep your Seltos performing at their best. In addition to maintaining the smooth operation of your Kia, staying on top of your oil change schedule can prevent

serious damage to your engine

, which can save you time, money, and trouble down the road.

Replacing the oil and oil filter in your vehicle isn’t as difficult as you may think. In fact, you can complete this simple maintenance task at home! You’ll just need to remember to do the maintenance reset yourself at the completion of the service.
