Service reset and oil drain plug torque
Greetings All,
I know it is on the site somewhere but can't find the instructions to reset the oil service indicator using something like key ON, trip meter etc. I have seen it here and used it before but can't find it now.

Second, the Bentley manual says 18 ft/lbs for the oil drain plug. Is this correct? Seems low. They give the same number for the oil filter housing top (this is a 3.0).

Much thanks in advance.
