How to reset the oil life indicator of the Mini Cooper from the instrument panel.

Model: Mini Mini R56, R55, R57 - Years 2007-2014
Part: Service warning light

To reset the oil life indicator on the Mini Cooper, you only need to work from the central instrument panel, without using diagnostic tools. With the car stationary, turn the ignition to the "on" position, leaving the engine off. On the central tachometer, at the bottom, there is a display showing the mileage, and to the right, there is a small button that controls the onboard computer. Pressing this button cycles through the various screens until the display shows the symbol of the car on a lift, indicating the maintenance section. Continuing to use the same button, navigate to the screen with the icon of the oil can; when this is visible, hold the button down for a longer period. After a few seconds, the display will show the word "RESET," indicating that the system is ready to reset the oil change interval. Keep holding until the panel updates the data and shows the new remaining mileage along with the date of the next service. At this point, you can release the button and return to the normal screen: the oil change warning has been reset, and the Mini Cooper will record the new maintenance interval.
