Go into the Oil service screen hit enter. You'll see a low maintenance option and a High maintenance option. The Low option is for setting oil change and the High will reset your "pesky" service interval... It took me awhile to figure out the nomenclature....

I have OBD II for Audi and it will NOT reset the service due light with basic device. Haven't bought the PRO package. Trying to find out how to do it without going to dealer. Does the OBD II require the PRO option to reset this light?

FYI - Using the Foxwell NT510 or one of the various "Schwaben" versions. I have a Schwaben 14020 for BMW/Mini with the VAG software also installed. Reset the "Oil Service" and "Inspection Service" with the following steps.
1. Turn Ignition to "ON" without starting the engine (keep you foot off of the brake).
2. Plug the NT510/Schwaben into the OBD port.
3. Select VAG Group
4. Select Audi
5. Select "Common Special Functions"
6. Select "Oil Service"
7. Select "SMALL" for "Oil Service" reset
a. Select your interval in km - 15,000 km = 9,400 miles, or 7,500 km = 4700 miles, or 5,000 km = 3,100 miles, or "Manual" and you can enter whatever interval you desire in km & days.
8. Select "High Maintenance" to reset "Service Inspection"
a. Select your interval in km - 30,000 km = 18,750 miles, or 60,000 km = 37,500 miles, or "Manual" and you can enter whatever interval you desire in km & days.
For those of you with diesel engines you can also use the Foxwell/Schwaben tool to change your fuel filter and then fill the new empty fuel filter using the tool as follows.
1. Turn Ignition to "ON" without starting the engine (keep you foot off of the brake).
2. Plug the NT510/Schwaben into the OBD port.
3. Select VAG Group
4. Select Audi
5. Select "Systems"
6. Select "Control Unit"
7. Select "Engine"
8. Select "Active Test"
9. Select "Fuel Pump Electronics"
Then do a cycle by selecting "Start" (this cycles the "in-tank fuel pump on for 3-4 seconds with an alternate "off" pause. Let this run in the start position for a minute or two to ensure the filter is full. Complete by selecting "Stop". I repeated this for one additional cycle "Start/Stop" to minimize the possibility of air in the system and cavitation of the High Pressure pump.
This primes the new filter and prevents cavitation of the High Pressure Fuel Pump. Cavitation of the High Pressure Fuel Pump has a very high potential of destroying the pump and sending metal to the injectors. Followed by a very costly repair bill.

It is not about the oil service reset, it is about the service reset which it is different, it can be done with VCDS but it involves a couple of steps, the Audi folks forgot to do it at my last visit and I was able to do it with my VCDS after some searches, I’m in Europe right now but if somebody is interested I can give some feedback upon my return in a couple of days, just let me know....

The silly service due message is what prompted me to finally purchase a VCDS unit. What frustrated me more, is that the oil change interval was not syncronized with the service due mileage. That meant that I would have my oil changed and around 3,500 miles later I would get the "service due" light. With VCDS I was able to get the two messages to arrive at the same mileage interval. So now when I have the local Audi dealer perform the oil service, they clear/reset both counters.
