How do you know it's a "reset indicator" and not an "error code"?

Do you have access to Rheingold ISTA-D? Might be worth trying to read the codes and reset them using the factory software.

If the oil has sheared off/wrong viscosity, etc. , it's certainly possible that you're getting an error. The thing with the brake fluid is merely a coincidence imo.
