Audi Oil Service Reminder Reset Instructions
Is there an Indicator light on your dashboard saying Oil Service Reminder after changing the oil? Learn how to reset the oil service reminder on your Audi vehicle. If you hover over the recommended oil change intervals, you will see a light that reminds you to change your oil or a message on the Multi-Media Interface (MMI). Change the engine oil and filter and reset the Audi Maintenance Reminder as described below.
