To reset the Maintenance Required indicator in a 2012 Toyota Tacoma, start by turning the ignition to the ON position. Adjust the trip meter to show the mileage, then press and hold the trip button while turning the ignition to OFF. Keep holding the button, turn the ignition back on, and the light will blink when it resets. Release the button, and the light should turn off. You may need to do this after each oil change. The recommended service intervals for this specific vehicle are every 7,500 to 10,000 miles using synthetic oil, and every 3,000 to 5,000 miles for conventional oil. The engine requires SAE 5W-30 oil for the 4.0L 6-cylinder model, with a capacity of 4.8 to 5.5 quarts depending on the configuration. For the 2.7L 4-cylinder engine, use 5.5 quarts of SAE 0W-20 synthetic oil.
