How to Reset the Change Oil Light on a 1999 Audi A6
In 1995 Audi replaced the 100 with the A6. The initial release of the A6 was nearly as boxy looking as the Audi 100 it replaced. In 1998, however, Audi modernized the A6 giving it a more rounded look. The 2006 Audi A6 came standard with a 255-horsepower, 3.1-liter V-6 and had an optional 4.2-liter V-8 that put down 335 horsepower. Audi recommends replacing the engine oil in both engines every 7,500 miles under normal driving conditions and 3,750 miles under severe driving conditions. After completing the oil change, you must reset the oil change light. The process of resetting the light is fairly easy, but detailed to prevent accidental resetting.
