Hi all !

I bought a e36 oil reset tool to do my own maintenance oil service and inspection. I would like to know how many miles/kilometers means each one green light and the yellow one too.

I made about 1500 miles and all of green lights are on. I think that the connection with the protective cap is not well positioned or screwed. It's posible that to happen?

Thanks,

Albano Martins

Albano

the lights do not work on mileage alone, the computer takes into account your driving behavior and other factors when cycling through the different levels.

I think what happens is it starts all green, then the green light start turning off the closer you get to the oil change, then they start with the yellow/orange

hope that helps
