How do you turn off the maint light after you change the oil on a 2007 toyota Solara?

The "Maint" light is a handy little thing, reminding you that it's been 45 hundred miles since your last oil change by flashing for several seconds after you start the car. At 5000 miles it gives up on the reminder and SHOUTS at you by staying on solid. Once you've finally gotten around to the oil change it's time to reset the light. It's simple.
1. Turn on the ignition key but don't start the engine.
2. Make sure your odometer is showing the 'total' mileage of the car, not one of the trip meters. Toggle to total mileage by pressing the odometer stem if necessary.
3. Turn the key off
4. Press the toggle stem and hold while turning the key on. After a couple of seconds all the numbers will disappear and will be replaced by dashes.
5. Keep holding the stem until all the dashes are gone. Hold a couple more seconds for good measure.
6. Release the stem and turn off the key. You're good to go for another 4500 miles.
Cheers

Where is the dimmer on a 2008 Toyota solara?
That info is in your owner's manual The dashboard light dimmer is the same stem used to toggle between and zero the trip meters (and, incidentally, reset the "Maint" light after an oil change). Just turn the stem left (lower) or right (higher) to adjust the lighting to your preference. Cheers

WWW.VEHIX411.COM free video instructionsEvery 5,000 miles an oil change indicator light that reads, "MAINT REQD" is automatically switched on in many new vehicles manufactured by Toyota and other auto makers. This light is not an emergency, but rather serves only as a reminder that it has been 5,000 miles since your last oil change. The MAINT REQD light is basically an oil change reminder.Of course, if you get your oil changed at the dealership, they will turn off the MAINT REQD light for you, but if you change your own oil, or go to a quick lube shop, you may be stuck with this oil indicator lit. Here is a very simple four step process that should turn off the MAINT REQD light for a majority of Toyota vehicles, and possibly other brands as well (before performing this procedure, please check with your owner's manual to make sure that the MAINT REQD light is described as an oil change indicator light):• Turn your ignition key to the 'ACC' or 'LOCK' position.• Press and hold the trip meter reset nob (next to your odometer).• While holding the trip meter reset nob, turn the ignition to 'ON', but do not start the car.• Hold the meter reset until the MAINT REQD light switches offOR YOU CAN WATCH A FREE VIDEO ON HOW ITS DONE GO TO WWW.VEHIX411.COM

How do you reset the maintenance light for oil changes on a 2007 Toyota 4Runner?
Turn the 4Runner on, make sure that you are looking at the "odometer" miles and not the "Trip" miles. Turn the 4Runner off, hold the "reset" button, turn the 4Runner On and the "MAINT" light will blink 3 times. Release the "reset" button and the light will turn off. This worked great for me but the light flashed 5 times then went off. 2007 SR5 4WD 16,000 miles recently purchased from dealer hopefully there is nothing else wrong/ FYI the manual told me that the maint light is for oil change.
