Americas Oil Change Reset

[Mountain4x4]

When will an oil change reset be rolled out for everyone? Driving 5.5 hrs to a dealer for an oil change is not practical.

You can clear the oil change reset with the Ancel BM700 can clear the engine oil light. This is one of its primary functions, as it is a diagnostic tool specifically designed for BMW, Mini, and Rolls-Royce vehicles.
The feature is typically found under the "Service Functions" or "CBS (Condition Based Service) Reset" menu within the scanner's software. After performing an oil change, you can use the BM700 to:

• Reset the Oil Life Reminder: This turns off the oil service light and resets the vehicle's internal computer so it can begin calculating the next oil change interval based on driving conditions and time.
• Clear Fault Codes: The tool can also read and clear any related fault codes that may have been stored in the vehicle's engine control unit (ECU). So, if you need a scanner for your BMW to reset the oil light, the Ancel BM700 is designed to perform that function. If you buy the Ancel BM700 do not get the "PRO" model. This Pro model will scan your Vin, our Vin is Ineos not BMW. With the Ancel BM700 you can quickly get into your vehicle's systems by following this cheat sheet. I love using this device.
• BM700 Menu Path for Grenadier
  1. Main Menu → BMW
  2. Manual Select (skip Auto VIN)
  3. Passenger Car
  4. 3 Series
  5. 2021–2023
  6. G20/G21 (this is the BMW 3 Series platform closest to the Grenadier’s ECU layout)
  7. Select All Systems scan

  Tips for connecting successfully:
  • Ignition ON (press start button without brake/clutch until all dash lights are lit)
  • Wait 10–15 seconds for all ECUs to wake up before plugging in the scanner You van find this on Walmart $89.00 and AliExpress. $87.00. I used my Ancel several times and it saved me trips to the Dealer. It is one of the best purchases I made. https://www.walmart.com/ip/ANCEL-BM...ic-Scanner-Fit-for-BMW-Fit-for-Mini/674780300

Interesting, G20/G21s are "mild hybrids", and the transmission sump pan for those and the Grenadiers have a second, smaller uptake port that all other BMWs don't have. I wonder if all of the G20/G21 ECU signals / codes / actions are identical to the Grenadiers, or are much more 'overlapping' with the Grenadier than a 'regular' BMW with a B57/B58. I don't know why we have to read the tea leaves to figure all this stuff out, I am becoming more chaffed by this as time goes on. I'm waiting on my account for accessing the maintenance manuals online so I can sort all this stuff out.

This is the problem with proprietary s/w, fought this for 30 years at AF and NASA ...

That's probably a good thing for the military - you know, national security and all.

This is the problem with proprietary s/w, fought this for 30 years at AF and NASA from vendors. So INEOS went with / had to go with a vendor proprietary solution that INEOS then modified but that's 'proprietary' to manage the B57/B58. I think this is part of the delay in getting a solution out to DIYers who take care of their own vehicles. You can get your Grenadier serviced elsewhere, but that non-INEOS servicer can't change / reset specific things in the ECU via standard BMW tools. Maybe European custom is that car owners don't change their own oil, and so wouldn't need to reset the oil change value? But in a BMW vehicle you can do that reset, without tools, without scanners, just using a sequence of steps with the car. Right to Repair laws are starting to be passed in some US states, I would hope eventually a federal law would be passed, not with this 'administration' probably. Doesn't help any of us right now though. Hoping someone reverse engineer's the entire setup and we can manage our own vehicle states directly, do oil resets directly. If I'd been involved in that decision making early on I'd have not gone with Bosch or whomever, I'd have certainly pushed for a more open system base to build upon. The Grenadier was positioned as a DIY serviceable vehicle.

Well that is were it is strange, the ECM is still BMW system fully and Bosch bench locked, however the communication layer that you can say stitches the comms together and user inputs is Ineos. Sadly right now a standalone might be the only way around it.

Actually the top layer is provided by Neusoft, as such configured to Ineos' requirements.

Neusoft also produce this top layer for Geely, including the Polestar range amongst others less familar outside of China.

I keep meaning to try the Polestar service reset which is a complicated combination including brake pedal presses.

Yeah that could be true as well, who ever built it has encryption that requires a physical Bosh MTS 6531 connection and a two factor auth. I have tried to clone my for a better term headunit but no win there. Either way Ineos is actively blocking the user from connecting.
