I read that use of this spec oil gives 30% more on the service countdown/mileage, is this true?
 
It depends if the service re-set menu has the option to choose 299.5 spec oil. Not all do and yours does not have the option.

Thanks, I reckon my must have been reset before I bought it or have had a service no logged (Seems less likely), I'm not the slowest driver and tend to do short runs so it seems unlikely the car would hit near on the max possible of 16.5K miles each time.

Anyways, thanks for looking after it, the brakes are a big improvement and its running really well.
