When the oil-service reminder appears on your Land Rover Discovery Sport (2015–present), you can reset the oil-wear counter yourself with a pedal sequence — no dealer for the routine oil reset. Here’s the owner method, plus when a dealer tool is genuinely needed.
Before You Start
This resets the oil-wear counter after an oil change. The car must be stationary, and you don’t start the engine during the sequence.
Resetting the Oil-Service Counter
- Switch the ignition on (don’t start the engine).
- Open the bonnet and open the driver’s door.
- Press the brake and accelerator pedals together and hold for about 10 seconds.
- The service reset display appears — release the pedals.
- Switch the ignition off, then on, and check the service indicator has gone out. Repeat if needed.
When a Dealer Tool Is Needed
The pedal method clears the oil counter. On some cars the full service-interval display won’t offer or accept a reset this way — then the complete service reset needs Land Rover diagnostic equipment. For a routine oil-and-filter change, the pedal reset above is usually all you need.
If the Reminder Won’t Clear
- Hold both pedals fully for the full 10 seconds with the bonnet and driver’s door open.
- Cycle the ignition off and on to confirm the indicator has cleared.
- A separate warning light? A fault stores a code — look it up on autodtcs.com.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I reset the oil service light on a Discovery Sport?
Ignition on, bonnet and driver’s door open, press the accelerator and brake together for 10 seconds, then cycle the ignition.
Do I need a diagnostic tool?
Not for the oil-counter reset — that’s the pedal method. A full service-display reset can need a dealer tool on some cars.
Why must the bonnet and door be open?
The car only accepts the reset with the bonnet and driver’s door open and the ignition on.
The light came back — why?
The reset probably didn’t register; repeat it, holding both pedals fully for the 10 seconds.
