Anybody know how to reset 2003 BMW X5 oil change reminder gauge?

Question:
Once my 50000 mile free maintenance is up, I am not inclined to be doing an oil change at a BMW dealership (it is very expensive). My neighborhood mechanic is willing to do it, but he doesn't know how to reset the oil change reminder gauge. The 5 bar gauge that gradually disappears until 15,000 mile is up and reminds you your next oil change is due. Anybody know how to reset that after oil change?

If you don't get it done at a BMW dealership you can order the reset device from a BMW catalog and do it yourself. It's relatively inexpensive (in relation to how much the service fee is) and it's easy to use.

Resetting the service lights can be done by one of two ways, firstly specialist tools are available for around $95+ that plugs into the diagnostics port and reset the lights automatically, or you can do it manually using a paperclip or small length of wire. To do it you need to unscrew the dust cover from the diagnostics connector (attached the the suspension turret ) and turn the ignition switch to position two - this is where the accessories come on but the starter motor doesn't engage. Create a short between pins 7 and 19, hold this in position for 5 seconds for an oil service, or 10 seconds for an Inspection. See the picture below - looking at the orientation of the "pacman" helps.
Take off the piece of wire and turn off the ignition. When you turn the ignition back on you will see the service lights are all green bars.
One way to make a jumper is to use a 16 gauge wire, stripped on the ends, twisted and then folded over once to make it thicker. Just make sure you don't touch any of the other pins when one is already connected.

The light reset is done not just by time of "jump" of the pins but by breaking the circuit after the correct time. To reset Oil Service lights engage for approximately 5-6 seconds then release. For the Inspection lights, engage for approximately 10-12 seconds then release.
