How do you reset a BMW oil change light?
I recently had my uncle, a retired mechanic, change the oil in my BMW. I think he forgot to reset the maintenance light though because it’s still on. How can I turn off the oil change light on my BMW?

How incredibly convenient to have a mechanic in your family! I’m sure it makes keeping up with
basic car maintenance
much more manageable!- Turn the ignition on but do not start the engine. If your car is push-to-start, you should press the start button without depressing the brake pedal.
- Hold down the odometer or trip reset button on the instrument cluster until the service menu appears. The reset button is typically to the left of the speedometer, and the service menu should appear after holding the button for roughly 10 seconds.
- Use the reset button to scroll through the settings until you find the oil change warning. Then, press the reset button.
- Depending on the model, you may need to use the controls on the turn signal lever instead to scroll through until you see a prompt asking you if you’d like to reset the warning. Then, press the BC button on the end of the turn signal lever to reset it.
- Hold the reset or BC button until the display shows it is resetting and confirm reset if prompted.
And just like that, you should be good to go!
