Default My service light tells me that I have 2500 miles left...

I just turned 40,000 miles and now I am getting this friendly reminder that a service is coming up. What does this mean? According to the manual, apparently only new spark plugs? Has anyone else had this done at the dealer and if so, (GULP) how much?

I just had my 20K done and I feel like I got ripped off. I had them put in new brake pads because I got that light too, but for everything it was 1300.

Come to find out I could have done all the work myself, but I don't know how to reset the light.

You can't.
As discussed on several prior occasions, you need the PIWIS (PST2) in order to reset the indicator.

...and as I have said many times , I will be returning my Cayenne after the 36 month lease with "service now" on the screen. Tired of asking them to turn it off. 2x in the first 10K miles? Are you kidding me? Besides, the stupid message only stays on for a couple seconds so it doesn't bother me.

I only got it once in 20K...

No ! for me. Just the momentary ! and "service now" which both go away within a couple seconds.

Yes, my light is but a brief annoyance. Has anyone done a service at 42K who can tell me what is involved and how much?
