I went for may first oil change at 24000 Kil

When they reset they oil service it shows the next one is in 8000 Kil.

I went back to the garage, they told me, they could not reset. They have to contact MW


I'm going back next week for this thing.

Mine showed 6.000 kms to oil service last week. This week it shows a warning saying SERVICE and the counter is at 2.700 kms to oil service.
Who explaines this message?

The Kms to oil servive aren?t just a mere countdown. There are factors like driving style, weather, etc, that can make the Kms to oil service drop faster.

I just had my first oil changed.

My car feels so smooth now. They they did:

1) Went thru all the recall: I think 1 or 2.
2) Oil change
3) filter
4) windshield washer
5) Fixed both of my cup holders. (dont think i want to use them..too fragile)
6) free car wash

She feels much better now.
