Yes, but I had the oil change thing on there forever, but ignored it because I just got an oil change back then (months, maybe 2000 miles ago) and was too lazy to reset because I think they forgot. Is this normal- i.e. just reset and all is well, or do I need a service or soemthing? Also, should I service it at 90k?

Thanks!

There's more to a 90k service than an oil change, so I'd say yes. Take it to an indy mechanic if its off warrenty and save money though.

You gotta VAG, its the only way to turn it off unless you take it to the dealer and tell them to turn that sh*t off. No codes are thrown from it, its just there to get you scared so you have to bring it to the dealer so they can bend you over and rape you like a........

If you have a vag....
Select Control Module > [Select]
[17 - Instruments]
[Adaptation - 10]

1995-1997 (and maybe part of 98):

Channel 05 should be the distance until the next Oil Service.
It is in thousands of kilometers. Let's say you want the Oil
Service light to come on in 5000 miles. That would be 8000 km.
Put the value 8 into channel 05. The "standard value" used by the US
dealers would be 12 (7500 miles).

Channel 06 should be the distance until the next In-1 Service.
Same units as above. Standard value would be 24 (15,000 miles).

Channel 07 should be the time until the next In-1. In-1 lights
up based on time or distance, whichever comes first. This is in
10's of days. Standard value would be 36 for 360 days.

Channel 08 would be time until the next In-2. In-2 is based
strictly on time. Standard value is 72 for 720 days (about
two years).

1998 and Newer:

Channel 02 - set to 0 to reset

Straight from ross tech. I do it when it come on.
