Hi all,
I ask this because since buying the car in May but only having driven about 1k miles in it, the service interval indicator hasn't budged from 9k miles to next service.
Can it really tell the quality of the oil in the engine? if so how?
Is it possible / likely the indicator could be 'stuck'?
Could the previous servicing garage have 'fixed' the figure at 9k, or even broken it somehow?
Or are these indicators really that good and I'm worrying about nothing?
History does show it to have been serviced with Mobil1 a year ago and I have read that star can be used to set oil quality but I'm also certain that the little garage that performed the last service do not have star.
Thanks for your time and apologies for so many questions first thing on a Sunday!
