Why both resets are needed on VAG cars

On many VW/Škoda models, there are two separate counters:

Small maintenance

• oil change interval

High maintenance

• inspection/service reminder

If you reset only oil service, the wrench icon often stays on.
That’s why both resets are usually required after full service.
