Ignition off.
Plug in tool firmly but carefully, set the switches to on / oil.
Ignition on, after 5-10s you get 5 green lights.
Ignition off, carefully remove too :-)
To reset inspection move the oil/insp switch and repeat above. You may
need to wait longer than 10s.

On my 1995 E36, you can ground pin 7 from the diagnostic connector with
a wire. Turn on the ignition, wait 5 seconds for oil reset, or about
20 for service reset. Then turn off, disconnect wire, and you should
be ready to go. No need for a tool.

Of course. If you ground the wrong pin, well... it's an expensive mistake.
On the other hand, $150 for a tool to short two pins together is an
expensive thing too.
Ya pays ya money, or ya takes ya chances...

In the UK the tool is only 10 GBP / $17. There must be cheaper tools in
the US, on ebay meybe?

Yes there are cheaper, but I was referring to the Peake Research tool
specifically.

Some of them do. Others just do the reset.
