1. Turn on the ignition: Insert the key and turn it to the "ON" position, but don’t start the engine. Alternatively, for push-button start vehicles, press the button without pressing the brake pedal.

2. Access the trip odometer: Press the trip reset button on the dashboard (usually located near the speedometer) to make sure the trip odometer is showing the total mileage or the "Odo" screen. This step is important as it ensures you’re in the right mode to reset the oil light.

3. Turn off the ignition: After ensuring the trip odometer is displayed, turn off the ignition completely.

4. Press and hold the trip reset button: While keeping the trip reset button pressed, turn the ignition back to the "ON" position without starting the engine.

5. Wait for the oil light to reset: After a few seconds (usually about 5-10 seconds), the oil change light will start blinking and then turn off. Once the light goes off, release the trip reset button.

6. Check if the reset was successful: Turn the ignition off again, then turn it back on to verify that the oil change light has been reset. The light should no longer appear on the dashboard.

If the above method doesn’t work or you prefer another approach, you can also reset the oil light using an OBD-II scanner. This is especially useful if the light stays on due to a system error.

Notes:

• Resetting the oil light doesn't change your oil: It only resets the reminder that appears on the dashboard. Make sure the oil change has actually been performed before resetting the light.
• Oil change intervals: The oil light usually comes on as a reminder after a certain mileage or time interval. Make sure to reset it after changing the oil to avoid confusion in the future.
• If you’re still having trouble, it’s best to consult your vehicle’s manual or visit a Volkswagen service center for assistance.

By following these steps, you should be able to successfully reset the oil light on your 2019 VW Jetta.
