30k Mile Service Question ???

beatloafer · 03-08-2009, 06:14 PM

I just took in my 335 for its 30k mile service, but the onboard computer still says the engine oil needs to be changed in 1900 miles (what it said before I brought it in). Do you guys think that they forgot to change my oil (I did have them update my software which was complicated for them and took longer than expected) or is it just something they forgot to reset.

I guess I'm asking if there is any way for me to tell for sure if they changed my oil.

look at your copy of the invoice to see exactly what was done...

That's just it... it doesn't say specifically. It only list these for the 30k service.

0000105 Service - Standard Scope

0000624 Service - Vehicle Check

0000618 Brake Fluid Service

when is your next vehicle check after the 30k one according to your computer? I just had mine done and it says I don't have another one for another 30k miles does that sound right?

Your oil was not changed, as it was not due for another 1900 miles. You had a standard scope, which is reading and clearing the fault codes and resetting the service lights, vehicle check, which is an overall inspection of the vehicle, and a brake fluid service.

ucfsteven, vehicle checks are due every 30k miles. Your first one was due at 30k, and now you have 30k miles until your next one.
