A friend called me just now asking what it means when her RAV4 (2021 I think?) with about 90K miles came up with that on her nav screen.
She asked what it means.
Any idea?

Very likely it has reached the number of miles for another oil change.
It might have been quite a while since her last oil change, or the
mechanic forgot to reset the oil change reminder on the dashboard after
the last oil change.

it's a message on her nav screen - it's not a colored light on the dash.
I only know this because she called me during lunch and I asked her if it
was yellow or red or blinking yellow or blinking red and she said it was white and writing on her screen.
None of my cars is new enough to have a nav screen so I don't know how to reset it but it's not a dashboard light but a message on her nav screen.

90k could be the timing belt change time. That is pretty important.

I don't think the maintenance reminder is programmed to do that. Those
maintenance schedules, other than periodical oil-change, are published
in the manufacturer's handbook for the particular vehicle model.
The maintenance reminder basically counts how many km/miles the
vehicle's odometer has registered since the last time it was reset.
When the owner brings the vehicle back to the dealer then the dealer's
computer will spit out a list of other recommended work to be done.
It has happened to me only once that the oil-change reminder came up a
couple of months after I had my oil-change. I thought the mechanic
ripped me off by charging me oil-change but didn't change the oil (I
had other scheduled maintenance done at the same time). I used the
dipstick to check the oil and it was new oil inside, so apparently the
mechanic forgot to reset the oil-change reminder. I didn't know I
could reset the reminder myself in those days so I had to drive my car
back to the dealer to get it reset.
Most cars now have a lot of settings. When you first buy the car, take
a half hour or so and play with all the buttons. Change settings as you
see fit.
Three months later, do it again. Now that you have experienced many situations, you may find a different setting is better and you find one
or two missed the first time around.
