As the owner of a 2018 Subaru Outback, You will need to have Your oil changed regularly. This is typically done every 10,000 miles, or every 12 months, whichever comes first. After an oil change has been completed, You will need to reset the oil warning light on Your dashboard. This is easy to do, and will only take 2 to 4 minutes of Your time. The first thing You will need to do is turn Your ignition to the "on" position, being careful not to start the motor. Utilize the controls found on the left side of Your steering column. Press the up and down arrows on the control panel until You find the menu for maintenance. Next, pull down on the i/set switch. This will resest the oil light, and it will disappear.

To reset the change oil light, simply turn on the ignition to run but don't start the engine. Then use the left hand side controls on the steering wheel to select the up or down arrows until you highlight the maintenance menu. Then pull the i/set switch toward you which triggers the reset process. A screen will verify the reset is complete and you can turn the ignition off.

Start by turning the ignition key to on without starting the engine. If you have smart key, press the start button without touching the brake pad. On the steering wheel you will see the control switch. You will press this to get to the information screen. You will briefly press the info button until you see a guidance screen. Now you will press and hold the info button to access the settings menu. Scroll down to select maintenance. Once there select engine oil/oil filter. Set the date and distance by reminder by using the control switches. Select set in order to exit settings. Turn off the car and turn it back on in order to verify the change.
