How do I reset the engine oil light on my BMW X5?

I just changed the oil on my BMW X5, but the engine oil light is still on. How do I reset it so it goes off?

To reset the engine oil light on your BMW X5, first turn on the ignition without starting the engine. Then, press and hold the odometer reset button until the display shows 'Oil Service'. Release the button and then press and hold it again until the display shows 'Inspection'. Release the button once more and the display should indicate that the oil light has been reset.

Some BMW X5 models have a different procedure for resetting the engine oil light. Consult your owner's manual or try this alternative method: With the ignition off, hold down the trip odometer reset button and turn on the ignition. Continue holding the button until the words 'Oil Service' or 'Inspection' appear, then release the button and press it again. The display should now show 'Reset'. Press and hold the button until the display changes to 'Approved'.

If you're still having trouble resetting the engine oil light, it may be best to take your BMW X5 to a certified mechanic. They will have the necessary tools and knowledge to properly reset the light and ensure that your vehicle is running optimally.
