Default Oil reset on 2008 q7

I do my own oil changes and i just did one on my 2008 q7. I have read that i need a special tool called a VAG to get the oil light reset. I'm just double checking if that is 100% accurate and if so any vendors on this site that sell the VAG tool that i can give business to? This is the one i saw on amazon.

Amazon.com: Car Code Reader Scanner VW/AUDI SCAN TOOL MAXSCAN VAG405 VAG 405 OBD II OBD 2 EOBD2: Car Electronics Amazon.com: Car Code Reader Scanner VW/AUDI SCAN TOOL MAXSCAN VAG405 VAG 405 OBD II OBD 2 EOBD2: Car Electronics

Thanks everyone for there help.

Thanks iconoclast I will take you up on that offer when I come back from vacation. Leaving tomorrow morning for 8 days. I will reach out to you on my return. I will fix my PM's right now and send you a test PM. Thanks guys. It means a lot when fellow board members work together. I have been on a hand full of forum sites and its great when you can get respect as well as support. Thanks again.
