To reset the oil sensor, you will need to drive your BMW XM for about 5-10 minutes at highway speeds. This will allow the sensor to recalibrate itself and recognize the new oil.

First, ensure that the oil change was done correctly and that the correct oil was used. Then, try disconnecting the negative terminal on your car's battery for a few minutes before reconnecting it. This should reset the oil sensor.

If the above solutions do not work, you may need to manually reset the oil sensor through the infotainment system in your BMW XM. Refer to your owner's manual for specific instructions on how to do this.
