How do you re-set oil mileage after changing oil in mini cooper?

If you do your own oil changes, this is a helpful tip to keep in mind. Typically, it is best to wait until your dealer maintenance service warranty expires, as an 'owner' reset could result in a missed oil change, particularly if the dealer checks the indicator it does not believe an oil change is due.

1. Locate the trip odometer button and depress and hold.
2. Insert the key into the ignition and partially turn into the first position.
3. Pay attention to the trip odometer to display the word 'RESET'.
4. Release the trip odometer button, then press & hold it again.
5. The 'RESET' message will flash.
6. Release the button, and then press & release again (once only)
7. The service interval is now reset to 10,000 miles
