How to Reset the Oil Change Reminder Light on a 1987 BMW 325is
1. Park the car on level ground and turn off the engine. Turn the key forward one click, starting the electrical systems but not the engine. Open the hood.
2. Locate the 20-pin diagnostic connector on the drivers side of the engine near the intake manifold. The diagnostic connector has a bright red cap. Turn the diagnostic-connector cap counterclockwise until it comes free.
3. Align the recesses in the oil-reset tool with the diagnostic connector pins. Plug it in by pushing straight down.
4. Activate the reset function on the tool by pressing the start button.
5. Check the oil-change reminder light on the dash to confirm the reminder has been reset.
