Drive harder? haha sometimes it takes a little more for it to register... my brakes have dropped only 2K miles and I've driven like 10K miles already... its calculated based on your past 1000 miles of driving.

OP, I have seen the same issue. It really depends on your driving. I have been stuck at 1900 miles until my next oil change for a month now and I have been driving it daily. My commute is 50 miles roundtrip. I think the big factor is most of my driving is highway mileage. If you drive more city miles or very aggresively, you will probably see different results.

My oil monitor sometimes Increases the mileage left numbers depending on my driving. Car already has 25,000km (15,500mi) but shows 4,000km (2,500mi) more to go. Have personally put 10,000km (6,200mi) on car but Brake Pad indicator has only gone down 3,000km (1,900mi)for fronts and zero for the rears. Oil monitor is not solely based on the number of miles but the harshness/gentleness of them and the resulting cleanliness of the oil.
