DIY simple oil service reset.

[MONTOYA]

got this from another forum. tested on a local 325i. it works like a charm. so like to share with you guy. "To reset the indicator:-The car should be off-hold down the left instrument button (the trip odometer reset)-while holding the key, turn the ignition to position 1 (radio)-you will see a test menu-keep holding the button-after maybe 10 seconds, the word "reset" will appear-let go of the button and press again-THe indicator is reset!"have funs.

Thanks to MONTOYA for the good info.

Sorry guys - just a question - why would you need to DIY-reset the service indicator?
Doesn't your workshop normally reset this for you after each service anyway?

 

[zeedo]

Sometimes my mech also forgot to reset it, and at times when time permits some of us do the oil change DIY (along with clean MAF and K&N filter)

I think you didnt follow the step well.. this technique had been discussed a lot of time Google it maybe you need other than just a simple reset
