G20 BMW Oil Change Reset Instructions:
1. Turn off Engine
2. Press Start/Stop Engine button (Ignition button) 3 times very quickly
3. On your dash, after 10 seconds or so, it will say you are in Diagnostic Mode
4. Hold trip reset button (The button on the side of turn signal lever) and wait 20 seconds or so until the oil reset option comes up
5. If you press the button without holding it, you will be able to cycle through all the options, like brake fluid reset and other resets. The first option is the oil change reset option. It will either say “Reset Possible” or “Reset Impossible”. When you cycle to this menu, hold trip reset button for 10 seconds or so and it will say “Reset?”, press and hold trip reset button again after seeing that it says “Reset?” to reset.
6. Switch off car by pressing Start/Stop Engine button to exit diagnostic mode.
7. Your oil change has been reset.
If you want to check whether you have reset it (Without relying on CEL disappearing from dash), just go back to diagnostic menu by following above instructions and once you reach the oil change reset menu, it should say “Reset Impossible”
Hope this helps!

How do you reset the oil light if it says Impossible? I have only 600
Miles but it’s already been 12 months and the oil service light is on. I changed the oil myself but unable to reset the oil maintenance light at this time bc it says impossible.
