Of all the tasks that a mechanic performs over the course of a year, the most common is an oil change. This simple task, which is essential for the smooth running and health of any modern vehicle, is a straightforward job, but it is one that has been made much more difficult over recent years thanks to the introduction by some manufacturers of a special warning light. When you perform an oil change on many modern cars you must reset the change oil light, but until recently, this simple task required you to use expensive original manufacturer equipment that was different for each maker, and meant a large investment in several versions of what was essentially the same piece of equipment. However, a OTC reset change oil light tool can simplify this process.

Manufacturers want customers to be certain that work on their vehicles is being carried out to the highest possible standard. For major auto manufacturers like Volkswagen having their own specialist garages carry out any work on their cars means that they are certain to use branded parts, for the whole lifetime of the vehicle, and boost the profits of the company. One way that car makers have sought to tie customers into their service plans is to ensure that independent garages are unable to carry out simple tasks such as an oil change because they have been unable to reset the oil change light after carrying out the task.

When a client entrusts you with their vehicle, they want to know that the work they are paying for has been carried out, and if you lack the equipment to reset the change oil light after carrying out the procedure, you will struggle to convince your customer that you have done the job. The last thing that any business owner wants to do is to create an impression that they are trying to mislead a client, and in an industry where confidence is everything, providing evidence of work being carried out is essential.

If you are unable to reset the change oil light on an auto, then there is no way of the client knowing that the job has been carried out. Having a tool that can carry out the procedure is essential, and thanks to the OTC reset change oil light tool, this is now possible for any mechanic.

Once you have drained off the old used oil and removed it from the vehicle, and then replaced it with high quality motor oil, you simply connect the oil light reset tool to the vehicle computer, and it notifies the system of what procedure has been carried out. Once the information has been transferred, the car automatically resets the oil change light, and it remains off until the on board computer deems that the job needs carrying out again.

The OTC reset change oil light tool is designed to work on a range of different manufacturer’s vehicles including Volkswagen, Audi, Mercedes Benz, BMW and Volvo. It includes all the necessary cables that you require to connect the system to the car, and is preprogrammed with all the functions that it needs to carry out. This turns what would otherwise be a complex and time consuming task into one that requires a push of a button to complete.

The OTC reset change oil light tool comes with a manual of the different procedures for different manufacturers, and this can be updated with new models over time to ensure that you always have the correct information to hand.

Your clients will be able to place their full trust in your workmanship, and always have the evidence of your honesty and quality of service, and also be able to avoid the higher work costs associated with branded auto dealerships compared to independent workshops.

This powerful and useful tool retails for just $331.24 at Red Hill Supply, and comes in a complete kit that includes everything that you need in order to get started immediately including cables, manual, and the monitor that shows that the job has been done.
