How do you turn off the 'service oil' flashing below the speedo? Mk 5 2001 polo?

This message means your car is due for an oil service, does not refer to the level of oil being low or not

- that would come up on the dash speedo area

It's just telling you that your car is due a service, but if you don't have it done by volkswagen they don't reset it. It costs to reset it! Thats why its there, just as a reminder

you should not pay to reset it - it tells you how to reset it in your vw handbook for free
