Resetting the oil maintenance reminder in a 2011-2017 BMW X3 F25 is a simple process. Here’s a general guide on how to do it:
Instructions:
Ensure the Ignition is OFF: Make sure the ignition of your BMW X3 F25 is turned off.
Press and Hold Trip Reset Button: Locate the trip reset button on the instrument cluster. It’s usually located near the speedometer or tachometer.

Continue Holding Trip Reset Button: While keeping the trip reset button pressed, press the engine start/stop button once (without pressing the brake pedal). This action should turn on the vehicle’s accessories and instrument cluster.
Continue Holding for 5 Seconds: Continue holding the trip reset button for about 5 seconds until the oil maintenance reminder reset menu appears on the instrument cluster display.
Navigate to Reset Option: Use the trip reset button to navigate through the menu options on the instrument cluster display until you find the option to reset the oil maintenance reminder. This option is typically labeled “Reset” or “Oil Service.”
Reset the Reminder: Once you’ve found the reset option, press and hold the trip reset button again until the confirmation message appears on the display.
Release the Button: Release the trip reset button once the confirmation message indicates that the oil maintenance reminder has been reset.
Turn Ignition OFF: Turn the ignition off and remove the key from the ignition switch.
Restart the Vehicle: Start the engine to ensure that the oil maintenance reminder has been successfully reset. The reminder should no longer appear on the instrument cluster display.
