Last time I encountered the oil reminder on my Golf 7, had to sort it out to drive without annoyance. Usually, you need to turn off the engine and get out, then locate the reset button near the instrument panel and hold it down. Next, turn the key to the ON position, which means power is on but the engine isn’t started. Watch the instrument panel for changes, keep holding for a few seconds, and the warning light should usually go off. If nothing happens, it might be because the operation was too hasty or the button isn’t working properly—just try a couple more times. Don’t forget to check the dipstick first; low oil level can also trigger the reminder, so that’s not something to overlook. Changed the oil lately? Regular maintenance helps avoid frequent reminders. Simple steps, you can handle it yourself, no need to rush to the repair shop.
