On a 997, I believe you park the car pointed magnetic north, turn the key on/off three times while simultaneously punching the mileage reset button & click your magic shoes three times. You might get a reset...or not.

You can re-set the oil change warning and you can change the oil interval/maintenance warning also. What you need is the iCarSoft POR II scanner. I just did all the oil service and maintenance then re-set the oil warnings and re-programed the oil service interval & milage for my 2019 Carrera T. Worked great.
