I just did this with my car. its on page 82 in my manual. with the ignition off push in and hold the right button, then as you hold it trun the key to the on position (you don't have to start the car) then pull out the left button and service OIL may appear. now let go of the right button and it should clear and show service ---. do the same again for when it shows service INSP. see if that works.
