HOW TO Reset VW Oil Change Reminder: Method 1: For Most Volkswagen Models (Manual Reset)

4. Release the Trip Reset Button – A message may appear on the screen.
5. Press the "OK" or "Menu" Button (If Applicable) – Depending on the model, you may need to confirm the reset by pressing the "OK" or similar button on the steering wheel.

Method 2: Using the Infotainment System (For Newer Models)

1. Turn On the Ignition – Ensure the engine is off.
2. Go to the Infotainment System Menu – Press the “CAR” or “MENU” button on the infotainment screen.
3. Navigate to "Settings" or "Service" – Look for “Service Interval” or “Oil Change Reset.”
4. Select "Reset" – Confirm the reset when prompted.
5. Restart the Car – Turn off the ignition and restart to verify.

Method 3: Using an OBD2 Scanner (For Certain Models)

1. Plug in an OBD2 Scanner – Connect it to the OBD2 port under the dashboard.
2. Select "Oil Service Reset" – Use the scanner’s menu to locate the service reset function.
