In this video, see how to reset the oil warning light on a Kia Optima: 2015 is a pivotal year as we transitioned from the MK 3 to the MK 4 version: we will use the buttons located on the right side of the steering wheel, starting with the "menu" button, then "up" and "down" and "ok". Then, turn on the car without starting the engine, then press the "menu" button and scroll down to find the "service" option.

Click on this and you will enter a submenu where you find "service interval "0n/off"; if you want to be reminded when the service interval is approaching, click "on", if you do not want to be reminded, click "off". If you choose "on", you can set the mileage and time interval.

Confirm with "ok".
