I've had my '98 318TI for about 5 year now. I purchased a peak tool to read and reset check engine lights. When reading the instructions it mentioned something about reseting the oil change light. Where is this oil change light located? I've never seen it on my dashboard. Would the Oil Change light burn out? | | | 04-10-2012, 03:45 AM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Greenville, SC Posts: 9,356 | __________________ ...steven BMW CCA #146825 1996 BMW 328ti • 2003 MINI Cooper S • 2016 M235i www.bmwcca.org | | | 04-10-2012, 04:08 AM | #3 | Junior Member Join Date: Mar 2009 Location: US Posts: 22 | hmmm... guess I'll check to see if the fuse is blown otherwise I'm going to have to take the dashboard apart I guess!

Wondering if there is something that I should try before I try to remove the dash. Is there a fuse or something else that might have blown? | | | 04-11-2012, 05:34 AM | #9 | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: norcal - 94590 Posts: 3,186 | No need to remove the dash to get to the lights, just remove the cluster. Two torx screws, 3 connections on the back of the cluster. __________________ James 95 active w/leather interior and sport interior conversion, Vaders, full M-Tech exterior conversion.
