Oil change Indicator Light

[abeye28]

The oil service indicator light is on. The place I take to get the car serviced does not have the tool to reset it, do I have to take it to a dealer to have the light reset?

No, you have search google or post in the tech section, your car if it is an M5 or M535i is experiencing a common to all E28s problem and you will get more views and help in a more widely viewed forum.

Jump pin 1 with pin 7 in the diagnostics connector, then turn the car on, do not start and wait for the lights to reset then turn the car off and remove jumper.

Blue Shadow--I would PM you this question but the PM function isn't workin correctly

I want to do this...do you have any more detail...that was all german to me. where are the "diagnostic pins" and how do I "jump them"?

Thanks!

I usually refer people here.

Thanks for that. It is so good to have those annoying lights out of the way now. I know what you're thinking - "don't neglect the service checks". Good advice, will get around to it sometime.
