How to reset the oil change indicator on a 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan

Sorry, the end of this one got cut off, but you get the idea. When I start the car at the end, the indicator light is now off.

thank you, so simple! its hard to believe how some people on youtube can turn this into a 10 minute video clip 🤦🏻‍♂️

Thank you so much. I took my car in today to get service and the guys cannot figure out how to turn off the service light. And less than two minutes you were able to solve my problem you’re the best thank you.

Mine said that the intervals was changed, but it keeps saying oil change due, even though it just said it was accepted pretty much.

Thank you! For anyone else reading- I drive a 2017 golf and the same process applies

When it comes on tho do I just need an oil change ?

What do I have to do if I want to reset the oil change indicator in the VW tiguan 2018 s model, the one that has the ignition switch?

Thanks for the reset info. It would be great if somebody did a video for an oil change for a 2018 Tiguan. It was a learning experience for me. The first drain plug I found uses a 5mm hex key, but I quickly realized that it was the transmission fluid because the fluid was red tinted instead of black ( I only let a little drip out since I wasn't certain about whether it was the oil or transmission plug). The oil pan is actually made of plastic, and the oil drain plug is also plastic. The oil drain plug uses a common flat blade screwdriver and only turns about 90 or maybe 180 degrees to unscrew. There's a tab on the edge of the plug that clicks into an indention on the edge of the drain hole. I'd never seen a plastic oil pan or plastic plug like this before. I wasn't very impressed, but I assume VW did their research before using it. I guess "time will tell".

Also, the owners manual says to use 0W30 weight oil but the label under the hood says to use 0W20.

I was following along and noticed if the hood is open the service reset message will not pop up until you close it
