Although my Passat had an oil change as part of the Phase II fix a few thousand miles ago, my car recently notified me that an oil change is required. I confirmed that a change had been done, but it seems they did not reset the oil change interval reminder at the time. So now I will have to just remember to get the next change 10,000 miles after the fix, rather than getting a reminder. So, here's my PSA:
If you get an oil change with Phase II, be sure to reset the interval yourself or check that the dealer did.
It takes about 10 seconds to do yourself (with a key ignition anyway; I don't know the procedure for push-button ignitions): Simple press and hold the trip reset button with the car off, then turn the ignition to the accessory position (still holding the reset button), and hit "Okay" when it asks if you want to reset the oil change interval. Easy day.
