How to Reset My Oil Meter on My Mercedes ML350
by David ClairThe ML350 is a luxury sport utility vehicle manufactured by Mercedes. The ML350 comes equipped with an oil change service meter that illuminates when regular service is due. Many automotive technicians reset the oil meter when they perform an oil change.

Resetting the oil meter ensures that the service reminder displays at the appropriate time when service is again due.
