Haha that's what the wife said I should do

No, I meant ignore my post that I deleted - I was thinking of an Evoque and posted a link to that! Your one hasn't got the Evoque type dash has it? Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto

I thought pre MY13 you could reset the service indicator without a hook up. FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

You can reset service indicator but I don't think you can reset the Oil Service Indicator

My independent mechanic tried all his readers to clear the service required on my car. If I wanted it cleared he could arrange it but he said that it is a reminder and if you are responsible with servicing your car just ignore the message. After a few months I don't even notice it is there anymore..... & I also service and get my cars fixed if and when needed, it is not difficult to do! Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

Is this were the danger is ?

If the DPF starts throwing in extra fuel on a fault in between services for some reason or other you could soon have a engine running on a poor oil spec.

I am assuming this type of episode should trigger the warning that is already on and being ignored. Or am I missing something in that logic  FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

The "oil service visit dealer" is only a reminder.

Thanks for all the replies

Just a quick note I serviced the car 2 weeks ago I just find the warning annoying 😡

There are two things related to service:
1. Reset the service interval.
2. Reset the oil degradation.

The first refers to the time/odometer reset performed on any service work. You can do this without any tool, just by using the instrument's button.

The second refers to the oil degradation counter based on the DPF regeneration process. This one can be done only with the help of a dealer or dealer like compatible reset tool.

So my previous comment is relevant then  FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

you need to go to the dealer and have it reset, otherwise as previously said it will cause problems.
