The oil change light comes back on after the oil change on a Subaru Outback MK4.

Model: Subaru Outback MK 4, BM, BR - Years 2009-2014
Part: Instrument cluster

We see that on this 2012 Subaru Outback, after changing the oil, the warning light continues to remain on. The reason is that during the operation, the youtuber left the ignition key inserted in its housing, when instead it should have been removed. So we turn off the ignition and remove the key, open the hood and open the fuse box inside it, and with pliers, or the appropriate tool for removing fuses, we must remove the fuse located on the top right of the box - as seen in the video - and insert it into the immediately upper position that is free. Now we turn on the ignition and the warning light is off. We turn off the ignition again, remove the key and return to our hood; we put the fuse back in place and restart the ignition. Operation completed.
