Hey everyone! Today I wanted to make this content because when I did the oil change on my Volkswagen Eos, I noticed a lot of misinformation about how to reset the service or inspection light. I found out that some cars do it one way and some cars do it the other way, and to me, that’s crazy.

So when the oil needs to be changed, the service light will be on when you start the car. You can see there on your dash, and that’s the time when you need to change the oil. So today, I’m going to show you how to reset the service light on this car. Check this out.
