Reset the Oil Service Indicatior Change? posted by donpb on June 28, 2012, he too had problems resetting his oil change interval. |
This guy had a sensor problem.

yes, which prohibited him from resetting his oil change interval.
there's lots of good info in that thread regarding the resetting procedure in general. |
You may have some issue not related to the procedure...but when I was trying to find the procedure online (here and other places) I could not find that was correct for my '08 535i...they all had a step missing or incorrect info. It seems that there a lot of small differences in procedures/steps from model year to year. Anyway...I went through and wrote my own procedure specifically for a '08 535i...here it is:
1 - Get in car…close door…apply parking brake…put in neutral…insert the key in ignition…press and release Start button. This should illuminate the battery, oil and parking brake lights…but not start the car. => At any point in the following process…releasing the odometer reset button for about 10 seconds will abort the process. 2 - Press and hold the odometer reset button…at about 2 seconds…a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark appears…at about 5 seconds…the oil indicator appears...release the button. 3 - Within 3 seconds of releasing the button…press and release the button again. Each press and release of the button will toggle to a different service indicator available for reset. 4 - When you have toggled to the service indicator to be reset…press and hold the the button…at about 3 seconds…the “RESET ?” message appears…release the button. 5 - If you do not wish to reset the indicator…do nothing…the process will abort in about 3 seconds. 6 - If you do wish to reset the indicator…within 3 seconds…press and hold the button until the service miles remaining changes to “---“. (the exact button pressing part for the actual reset is a little fuzzy…but easy to do). |

Yeah I keep getting that stupid "----" also. It seems the oil interval won't reset if something is wrong with the oil level sensor and / or harness. Mine ended being a damaged harness.
