The process for resetting the oil life on a 2016 Kia Sorento may vary depending on the model you have. In some models, you can reset it by navigating to the "service required" screen and holding down the OK button. For other models, you will need to go to the SETTINGS menu, then select SERVICE INTERVAL to adjust the reminder settings. Another option is to use an OBD-II scan tool with oil life reset capability, which involves connecting to the OBD-II port and issuing the reset command. While this method is easier, it can be costly to purchase the necessary equipment if you don't already have it, so it may not be worth it solely for this purpose.
To clear the oil life reminder or maintenance alert in your 2016 Kia Sorento, start your car with the ignition key and press the gas pedal down three times gently. After releasing the pedal and restarting your vehicle, the oil light should show that it has been reset.
