It's a CPO, 1st oil change was complimentary, 2nd was included in the spring valve recall, all done by Lexus service. It's time for my annual oil change. I'm getting a "time to change oil soon" light when car is started and it's goes through the "car check" sequence. I disable the maintenance reminder on the LCD screen. Living in NYC it will cost $525.00 for a oil change and the extra perk of a free car wash. I know I could also have it done at a Toyota service department for much less. Questions: If it's done by a trusted local service mechanic will the reminder light go off after the oil change? Or is it something that Lexus has a monopoly computer program that resets the reminder? I'll be darn to spend $525 in today economy (I'm part of the 99%) for them to check my tire pressure and a car wash.

You can easily disable it yourself.

Step 1 - Switch the display to the trip A when the engine is running.

Step 2 - Turn the engine switch OFF.

Step 3 - While pressing the trip meter reset button, set the engine switch to the IG-ON mode (but do not start the engine because otherwise the reset mode will be cancelled). Press and hold the button until the multi-information display indicates that the reset is complete.

Will this also reset the trip "A" ODO miles? I've been using "A" to keep track how many miles I have put on the vehicle since its purchase. I use "B" when I go on trips. Sorry, to be a pain. If it resets it's no big deal just wanted to know ahead of time.

Thanks

No it won't reset it unless the car is running and you hold the reset while on trip A.
