Chris,

I know you have the solution by now by Im submitting this post anyway.

To reset the oil maintence:

Have the car in a secure location with the engine off

1. Press the ingition button once, do not have your foot on the break pedal
2. Make sure you have the instrument cluster (panel on left hand side below gauges) open
3. The button marked "reset" depress it for 30 seconds and the "oil maintenance," should be reset.

Hope that helps.

1. With the car running set the odometer to display total vehicle miles - not to the trip odometer.
2. Shut the vehicle off.
3. With the trip odometer reset button held down, switch the vehicle to on (ie push the start button twice without your foot on the brake).

Burning oil

Chances are the rings are weak enough to let oil into the cylinders.
If the thermostat were faulty the check engine light should come on because the engine would not be reaching operating temp.
Or running too hot.
You could replace the PCV valve as a maintenance item but I would not expect a big change.

Why is my 2006 lexus gs 300 is burning oil

Every single 2006 gs300 will have this problem, and even after it has been "fixed" it's going to happen again due to the intake valves not being washed by incoming fuel. The design of the engine is a poor design and shouldn't have never been put out to production and sold to anybody. Lexus extended the warranty for this problem for 9 years and will not do a single thing for you if you're even one day out of the 9 years. Every single 06 gs300 should have been replaced with a completely different car under the lemon law the moment they realized the problem, but to save the money lexus just swept it under the rug leaving hundreds of thousands of their customers with a lemon.

When my maintenance light came on awhile ago, it was able to be reset and then turned off, when the oil life was still 10%, then it went down to 5% then now about 300 mile past the oil life is up.. and the...

When was the last time you had a tune up? That would include oil and air filter, spark plugs and etc. Also, you may need to have your timing belt replace. You should check your owner's manual for routine scheduled maintenance.

A light came on, a little yellow triangle light, and a note that said oil maintenance required.

Check the engine oil level. if low add 1/2 quart and re check untill full. GO get oil change. DO NOT RUN if oil is not showing on the dip stick. The oil weight is in the owners manual.

Where is the air filter on 06'lexus GS and how hard is it for novice to change ?

first, remove the front black cover located next to the front grille. next, remove the black cover located on the left. the retainers can be removed by pushing down on pin located in the middle.
once these are removed, you'll see a black box. this contains the air filter. it can be opened by pushing the metal clips outwards. lift the cover and you'll find the filter. most stores don't stock these filters so you'll probably need to order it.
