Time needed: 3 minutes

I’m going to show you how to reset the oil service warning light on a BMW 750i F01. You can do the same procedure from 2008 up to 2015.

Turn on your car without starting the engine
With the engine off go ahead and turn on the instrument cluster by pressing the START button one time
Hold down the RESET button
Then press and hold the left instrument cluster button and this should bring up a display of services for the vehicle
Find the ENGINE OIL
From there you can press the button briefly to cycle the service menu, but in this case, we need to select the ENGINE OIL
Press and hold the RESET button
To reset a service you need to hold down the button on the instrument cluster until it asks you to reset
Release and then hold it one more time
At this point, you press and hold the button again and the reset will be complete

So that’s how you do BMW 7-Series Service Reset. You can also do this for another service item. Keep in mind that if you’re resetting anything relating to brakes like brake pad reset, the brake pads sensor has to be replaced. If it’s worn down, it’s not going to allow you to reset that service or if there’s any damage to the sensor itself. So thanks for your time and until next time.
