In the infotainment system, select: Menu - Car - Left control button - Service and inspection - Service interval - Reset oil change interval. Here is some relevant information about engine oil: 1. Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant (Engine-oil), with a density of approximately 0.91kg×10 cubic meters, serves functions such as lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leakage prevention, rust and corrosion protection, and shock absorption for the engine. 2. Known as the 'blood' of a car, engine oil consists of base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of lubricating oil, determining its fundamental properties, while additives compensate for and improve the shortcomings of the base oil, providing certain new properties, making them an important part of lubricating oil.
I've been driving an Audi A3 for a while now, and every time the oil change reminder pops up, I reset it myself. The steps are quite simple: first, turn the car key to the ON position without starting the engine; then, look for the menu button on the dashboard, such as the control knob on the steering wheel, press it a few times to navigate to the service or maintenance settings; find the option to reset the oil change reminder, select it, and confirm—the warning light will then go off. Doing it myself saves the hassle of visiting the dealership and ensures timely oil changes, as old oil can affect engine lubrication and increase wear. Regular maintenance keeps the car running longer and more smoothly. I recommend checking other components like the air filter after each service to ensure overall health. Mastering this small trick can save money and hassle in the long run.
I recently switched to an Audi A3 and was a bit confused when the oil indicator light came on. After checking online, I found a method that worked quite well for me. First, power on the car without starting the engine, wait for the dashboard to light up, then use the steering wheel buttons to navigate to the maintenance menu. Select the option to reset the oil reminder and confirm—the warning should disappear. If you're unsure how to do this, check the owner's manual, which includes diagrams, or ask a friend who knows about cars. The reminder means it's time for an oil change; ignoring it could lead to engine problems, which are more expensive and troublesome to fix. Always remember to check fluid levels regularly while driving to prevent minor issues from becoming major ones.
