Hey everyone, I just did an oil change on my 2018 Volvo XC60 T5. Used genuine Volvo oil and filter, everything went smoothly. However, I can't seem to get the 'Service' reminder light to go away on the dash. I've tried a few methods I found online (holding the trip reset button while turning ignition on, etc.) but no luck. Is there a specific trick for the newer models? Any advice would be appreciated!
