    I don't see how people are missing this. Its simple. But half of this forum is retarded so it shouldn't be a surprise

    Is this your first 5000 miles? Maybe the reminder was reset by someone else between new and now?

    I’m pretty sure the 5000 mile oil maint reminder is hardcoded to show up in the center instrument information display. I haven’t found any way to alter its behavior. But it’s just a simple mileage counter, and also secret proof Toyota engineers wanted you to change the oil at 5k no matter what (it is specific in saying that your oil is due, not a general preventative maint reminder).

    Anyway, you can reset this mileage counter back to zero at any point, the alert doesn’t have to be showing. If you reset it now, you wont see it for another 5k miles.

    Or if you want to make sure it works, you can leave it be and let it show up eventually in the next few thousand miles.
