Unfortunately, you have changed the oil in your car but the warning light does not turn off. Don't worry because the reset is very simple and does not require any special procedures. Get in the car, close the door, and turn the key without starting the engine.

Press the accelerator all the way down three times in a row within ten seconds. Turn everything off, wait a moment, and then turn the ignition back on. The warning light should have disappeared, if it is still there, try again calmly and repeat the entire procedure.

If you still can't do it, take a look at the car manual or ask for the help of an expert. If you don't feel comfortable doing these procedures yourself, contact a specialized workshop.
