15,000 mile service?

[rominl]

so i am a bit confused. i believe it's supposed to be 15k service. i am now at 14,4xx miles, but when i start the car, the message says 2300 miles before my next service. so that will put me at almost 17k miles?

Service intervals are on a usage basis....its a formula based on number of starts, fuel consumption etc...so a hard run car making short trips will need servicing more often than a car cruising on long trips.

You did your first 1,200-mile service, don't you? Car computes 15K after that . I'd have done one in-between, but to each his own. Take care.

thanks for the replies. yes, i did the 1200, but i think it was done around 1300 miles. so it's 15k after that, not 15k on odo?

i don't drive my car hard every day (i mean, that would look pretty stupid), maybe it has to do with driving habit too
