From the dashboard of the Ford Transit Custom, you can clear the Service light by pressing the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time, then turning the key to switch on the ignition. Wait about 20 seconds before releasing the pedals and turning off the ignition.

At this point, you will need to turn it back on, navigating through the menu that appears on the display using the directional arrows located on the right side of the steering wheel. Once you select the "Maintenance" option, you will be able to check the remaining oil life, ensuring it has returned to maximum and that the reset has been completed.
