Boxer 'change oil' warning fix

Its ok resetting these warning lights, as long as you understand the vehicles usage.

As mentioned above, short trips or running the engine at idle for long periods can cause the DPF system to go into a self clean which is then terminated before completion when the engine is stopped.

All the fluid and fuel used in the clean is then 'dumped' into the sump via various means, thinning the oil (most modern engines do have a viscosity check of the oil) when the oil is detected as too thin, the warning light is activated. this can normally be seen by the checking the oil level regularly, if the level is seen to increase this could mean a failed DPF clean cycle. 

So yes the warning maybe due to a timer but also due to oil breaking down due to failed DPF cleaning.

I wouldn't risk a £50000 plus motorhome for the sake of £200. 

Thanks to all that have cemented. I have had the oil changed in mine less than 12 months ago. Within 3 weeks of it being changed the message came up and I did the youtube  trick assuming it had not been reset

Last week it was being turned round in a tight space by someone else and the message came back on.

I have done less than 200 miles since the oil change last October.

Should I reset it again or is it garage time
