My oil change light is still onwhy is that?
Let’s move on to the car’s second oil light, the oil pressure light. When this light turns on, it indicates that the engine’s oil pressure has fallen, and you need to act right away. The engine of your car can suffer severe harm if you keep the light on while driving.
The light signifies that something is interfering with the engine’s ability to receive a continuous flow of oil from the oil pump to lubricate its components when it is operating normally. You can consider oil to be the vital component of your car’s engine. Your engine is protected from heat and friction with the right oil level. But without it, your engine can sustain damage quickly. Therefore, it’s crucial to routinely check your oil and filter. You must deal with it if the light comes on. Here is what to do.
- Turn off your engine and first pull your car securely to the side of the road.
- If the dipstick does really show low oil, look for any indications that your car is leaking. A failing gasket or seal may be the cause of oil dripping. If there isn’t an obvious outward oil leak, the engine may have an interior issue.
- To do this, take out the dipstick, clean it with a rag, then put it back in the engine and pull it out again to check the level. The oil level is low if it is below the “full line.” (If you are having difficulties locating the dipstick, refer to your owner manual.)
- Next, locate the engine compartment of your car (often by lifting the hood) and check the oil level.
Purchase the proper oil for your car’s kind and weight, then refuel the engine until the dipstick reads “full.” If the light remains on even after you restart your car, get a professional opinion by calling for a tow truck.

What ‘MAINT REQD’ Means
Within 5000 miles of the last reset, the “MAINT REQD” indicator illuminates. It is merely a mileage counter meant to serve as a reminder to the user that an oil change is required and in no way indicates any system failure. If a specialist has always performed maintenance on your Toyota, they reset it after each oil change. It should be noted that the recommended oil change interval is not always 5000 miles. To find out how frequently the oil in your Camry needs to be changed, consult the owner’s manual and your usual technician.
