Hi, my friend! What’s new? Today we will be working on a Skoda Octavia, and we’re going to be resetting the oil change light, including the inspection service light.
By the way, I know some of the Octavia can do this manually. However, some others are never being able to do that. So it would help if you used a tool to reset it. But apart from that, it’s a super easy job. So come with me and stay tuned.

- Make sure the vehicle is completely stopped
Turn OFF the ignition
- Press and hold the 0.0/SET button while turning the ignition on
Hold the 0.0/SET button and as you’re holding turn on the ignition without starting the engine
- Keep holding the 0.0/SET button
Keep holding and then you’ll get the Reset Oil Change message first and then if you wait for it a little bit longer it will change to a Reset Inspection Service message
- Press the 0.0/SET button
As soon as you got the option you want, you have to press the SET button again to confirm
So that’s how easy it is to reset the light. After reading this guide, I hope you can do it yourself with a simple hand, knowing that the job is getting done properly. Thanks for joining me today, and have a great day.
