The Same Happened With My Civic And My Taurus, Car manufacterers usually want you to come and get serviced at a dealership for their record, but if you look in the owners manual they might tell you where the switch is, or just go to your local autozone or car part store and ask they usually know how and its free!
Put oil in your car ??????????????
chunky has given you the correct way to reset the service indicator on your passat. most of your other answers are from people who havent got a clue or dont know anything about vw's.
You can not turn this light off. You have a faulty oil sensor, oil sending unit or a faulty oil pump that needs to be replaced. On any VW, if you try to disconnect the warning light, the car will not run. It is a safety feature as well as a performance feature that will inhibit you from operating the car.
Look it up in your owners manual.
press and hold button A (just to the left of the speedo)





switch ignition on





realease button A





the letters ';OEL'; or ';OIL'; will appear in the trip display





if the car has a digital clock turn button B (to the right of the rev counter) to the right until ';---'; appears in the display.





if the car has an analogue clock pull button B out until ';---'; appears in the display
the only way to turn the service light of is by taking the car to any garage that deals with vw`s and having them turn it of the only way you can do it yourself is buying a bit of kit called a tech 2 with the right info on it for the type of car
