If you have a 2016 Subaru Outback with a touchscreen display, resetting the oil life indicator is straightforward. Start by turning the ignition to ON (engine off) and accessing CAR INFO on the navigation system. Go to MAINTENANCE, delete any completed maintenance events, add a new event with the date and mileage of the service, and then select FINISH. Alternatively, driving the car at speed once the engine is warmed up after the service can reset the oil life indicator. You can also use a compatible OBD-II module to reset the oil life, making it easy if you have a scan tool on hand.
