From Bentley manual:
* Switch off ignition.
* Push and hold the right button (on instrument panel) while simultaneously switching ON the ignition; display will show the word "SERVICE" or "SERVICE OIL".
* Depending on the version, either push in or pull out the left button and hold until display clears (it'll show "---"). The next service interval or word "SERVICE ---" should be displayed.
* Push the right button again and repeat procedure for the next maintenance interval.

It doesn't come on just because you change your oil; it's an interval light, it comes on at the factory recommended intervals based on your mileage.

No prob, it should work for you. BTW, you can reset the mileage/time intervals for the service indicator with VAG-com. I've done it already on mine to remind me at 5k for oil and 10k for inspection (those are the only two options). Mine came with 8k miles OIL indicator and 15K inspection reminder, but I'm not one to procrastinate on car maintenance (everything else though....)
