In this video, we will see what to do after changing the engine oil on a Kia Forte to reset the notification system that reminds us to perform this important task. We need to activate a light in the bottom row of the central display.

To do this, sit in the driver's seat, turn the ignition key to the first position to power on the instrument cluster, and press the accelerator pedal fully three times within five seconds. Turn off the instrument cluster, and upon restarting, the light being off will confirm the operation was successful.
