The frequency of the oil change display indicating an oil change, depends on the electronic setting of the system and NOT on the actual frequency of oil change. Pop into a garage and it takes 60sec to reset it.

Oil change on my B5 is once every 10,000km, or in the UK once every 9,000 miles. Stone me why europe and the uk have different service intervals.

with car off hold down the left trip button, turn car on but don't start, then hold down the right one without letting go of the left one. this should reset it.
