I took my car in for it's 2nd free oil change today at 40,438 miles.....came back with a couple more scratches.

I asked my SA what happens when my warranty runs out at 50,000 miles.....

Do they reset the service mls for free when I stopped by.....and he said "NO!"

It's $68 to reset the mls service reminder.............WTF?

My question is: Is there a way I can reset it like on my Honda or Lexus?

Or can I just ignore the service mls reminder......like a bad habit.

***Sorry --- too lazy to ***

btw - after the service, my service mls was reset to only 6,000 mls.

I don't know I have always wondered the same thing about all the people who change their own oil. I would do it but I don't know how to reset the light.

You can reset it yourself, but you're going to have to search


hint: Look under electronics in the DIY sticky

This is what I found two weeks........is this it?


Step 1
Insert key into slot

Step 2
Press start/stop button without depressing clutch/brake and wait for the service reminder to dissappear.

Step 3
Immediately after service reminder goes out, press and hold the odometer reset. After 3 secs a warning triangle will appear, keep the odo. button pressed and after another 2-3 secs the Oil can will appear. I f you hold it too long (10 secs in total) you will overshoot the runway and some German writing will appear giving the software level/ can bus etc. of the car. Go back to the beginning and start again.

Step 4
You are now in the service menu, use the toggle switch on indicator stalk to scroll up/down through the various service items.

Step 5
When you have the item you want to reset showing, press the BC button on end of indicator stalk. Reset should now appear in the display. Press in and hold the BC button for 2-3 secs and a clock will start whirling around and hey presto, its done

Step 6
You can now either scroll up/down to select another item (as in step 4) or you can press the start/stop button to exit.

Wow good info to know.

Although, I won't have to worry about it as my car should be on it's way to retirement right around 50K.

I'm at 40,700 now.
