Or (this worked on my '87 8v, yours might be different.), if you look at
the radiator fill tank, it's on a bracket - it slides up, and then is out
of the way.  Without disconnecting the hose from the bottom, I was able to
slide it up out of the way enough to reach in there with a small piece of
dowel, and hit the reset button for the OXS light.

I spent $28 for mine (Bosch, of course) at Auto Zone.  Installed in about
an hour.
