Although I am not certain about the pin numbers, I recall that the reset
takes about 7 seconds for the oil service and about 15 for inspection. Try
holding the connection for 8 secs. All the green bars should be lit and the
service light should be out.

There have been many recommendations for people to use a paperclip to reset
their oil/ service indicator lights. That is bad advice, as inserting the
pins into the wrong sockets can FRY YOUR COMPUTER!!!
The guys who say it`s ok haven`t fried their computer - they have been
fortunate. One can either listen to their advice based on their fortunate
experience, or take the precaution to use a tool designed for the specific
purpose.
The parts and tools needed are shown below, or if you prefer I will make the
reset tool for you for $10. plus cost to ship it to you.
Parts:
- Approx 3 feet of 16 gauge wire
- banana clip (inserted into socket)
- 470-Ohm diode

- solder
Tools needed:
- wire stripper
- soldering iron
- crimp tool
- lighter
If interested in having one made for you at $10. send me an email. Quantity
