Preparing Your Vehicle
Before you reset the oil life on your 2023 Hyundai Elantra, park the car on a flat surface and turn off the engine for safety and accuracy. Make sure you're in a safe spot away from traffic or dangers.
You don't need tools for this, but having the car's manual can help for any specific instructions. Turn off all car electronics like the entertainment system and lights to avoid electrical issues or battery drain during the reset.
Accessing the Display Menu
To reset the oil life in your Hyundai Elantra, first park safely. Then, to get to the display menu, follow these steps:
- Turn on the ignition: Without starting the car, turn the key to 'ON' or, if it's a push-button start, press the button without pressing the brake. This activates the car's electronics.
- Find the menu button: Look for a 'Menu' or 'Settings' button either on the steering wheel or the infotainment system. Its location depends on your model.
- Press the menu button: Press this button to open the main menu. You might need to hold it for a bit in some models.
- Use steering wheel controls: If available, use steering wheel controls like arrows or a scroll wheel to navigate the menu.
- Take your time: Go slowly to understand the menu layout, so you don't miss any important settings.
Navigating to Oil Life

- Use the steering wheel controls, usually found on the left side, to navigate the menu. Look for buttons or arrows.
- Press the up or down button until you reach 'Vehicle Settings' or a similar option. This might vary by model year and software.
- Select 'Vehicle Settings' by pressing 'OK' or 'Enter', usually located in the center of the control cluster or marked by a logo on one of the buttons.
- Scroll through the options until you find 'Oil Life'. This is just to locate the menu, not to perform a reset yet.
This process helps you keep track of when your Elantra needs an oil change, based on the manufacturer's recommendations and your driving habits.
