Hello everyone, I have read a couple of past posts about the LED bar graph that shows up in the instrument cluster and learned that this shows the oil life. However, I have recently changed my oil and that has not restored the left-most green light and the yellow one that used to be on. My questions: 1. What exactly does this bar graph indicator really mean? 2. Should I be concerned that the two lights haven't been restored after having an oil change? 3. Where is the easiest/cheapest place to get a manual so I don't have to waste your time asking dumb questions? Thanks for your time, Mike P.S.

And I noticed that it would deduce every couple hundred miles until the bars would run out after 3,000. But when I reset it with the paper clip, it deduces by every 3,000 miles. Does the peake tool copy the paper clip method, or the comp. method? I personally memorize when it needs changing. So I'm not worried. But it would be nice to have that feature. __________________ Come get a ti-shirt Quote: From the e30 M3, evolved the e36.

It's not a big deal at all. I take a jumper wire, ignition on, to the manufacturer diag. port(round black thing with a cap near the brake fluid resevoir) under the hood and bridge 7 and 19 for 7 or 8 seconds and it resets the light. You don't need some tool or w/e, just a wire, or a paper clip. And about that paper clip method deducing every 3000 miles, etc. I believe they're just bridging pins either way.
