The crudest way is to locate the service connector (big round connector on driver's side under hood) and take off it's cap. Locate and mark pin 7 with some white-out or white paint so you can find it easily. Prepare a 3 foot wire with a connector pin or doubled-over wire on one end and bare wire or another banana plug on the other. The pindiameter needs to fit the connector female socket (pin 7). Put one end of the wire in pin 7 and keep the other end clear of the chassis.
Put the ignition switch in the #2 position (ignition on) position. Firmly hold the bare wire end against the unpainted nut on the shock tower for about 5 seconds and take it off quickly. The lights should be reset for oil service. If not try a slightly longer time period like 7 seconds.
A less crude but no more effective way is to make up the wire with a pin on one end, a normally open momentary push button switch in the middle, and an alligator clip on the other end. Put the banana plug in pin 7 and attache the alligator clip to the unpainted nut (ground). Then, after turning on the ignition, hold the button down for 5-7 seconds and release for the oil service reset. Some people put a 1K resistor in series with the plug for protection. I have never found it necessary.
Finally alternative is to buy a reset tool for about $45 I think (Peake). It has the connector and automates the button hold down function for you.
