Mine reset itself, but it did take quite some miles, 50 or so.

It should go off itself eventually, providing the oil is no higher than 5.7 litres.

I agree with what everyone else has said, but just to add - if your car has a sticker like this on the slam panel (photo of mine below), then I'd think about changing garages. Putting 8L of engine oil in a car that by the book takes 6L, or since the revised advice, 5.7L max, seems a bit worrying to me, also the garage must go through a lot more oil than they need to. I suspect the bill was for 2x 4L containers as oil often comes in that size now?
If the level is half way on the drip stick now between min and max, then the light will go out after some further use

Just to update and for further advice please.
The engine system service light remains on. The car apparently runs normally at present. Oil level is fine. The mechanic read the codes today and it did show a problem with the oil level sensor. He reset it but the light came straight back on. Do I just put up with the light in favour of an expensive fix and the possibility of creating more problems? Anyone had this sensor replaced and is it an expensive job? Could the light still go out at some stage? Thanks Steve |

I’d advise that you get the car on Vida and get the proper codes read which should provide more of a clue as to the fault. It sounds like your mechanic has just used a generic reader.

If you take more oil out of the sump, does the light go out and if it does, at what level? The revised oil level is midway between the original "Full" mark and the halfway mark on the dipstick. If the light can be made to go out by lowering the level you can make a judgement whether there is enough oil in the sump at that level but if it never goes out you would seem to need a new oil level sensor. A VIDA reading of the system would be reassuring.
