Car had a main dealer service in August. Now, less than 2k later it’s saying oil service due in 4400 miles?

Mine needed an oil service six months and 6,000 miles after the last service. The dealer changed the oil and filter under something called ‘dealer empowerment’ which meant there was no charge and apparently no impact on the five year service plan. However, I’m still left wondering how long it will take for the problem to return . . . . Seriously considering changing back to petrol or looking at PHEV next time. Current: 2020 P400e HSE Dynamic

Services seem to come up on my SC every 6 months here, I think Australia is considered a harsh environment. Thing is that I will only have done about 2000 miles since the last service as I now work from home and use Uber for short visits to town. Gone - 2008 Stornoway Grey RRS 2.7 TDV6

Harsh environments on Vehicles isn't so much heat but changes in temp and of course dust. I went to some trouble years ago trying to find why Audi spec'd miles for service in the USA and Kilometers in Australia, I mean 10,000 miles or 10,000 K's if in Australia. When I asked the dealer they said Australian conditions were harsh. I then checked the component manufacturer who said that temp changes where the biggest issues, this was to do with timing belts.

I took mine in some months back as the service indicator came up too early , they did a software update as per the bulletin and as the service indicator did not come back on they sent me on my way . Anyway we serviced it as we should at 16000 mile interval when it came which was 6000 miles ago, but now it's saying service in 3500 miles ! As it's had the software update this time it must be due to the oil dilution or rather the computer predicting this from too many failed regen attempts .

Being a mechanic I see this a lot more with fords to be honest but generally if the car doesn’t complete a dpf regen it dumps a lot of diesel into the oil, we mainly see this in our short journey users tbh does the car do long runs or more short journeys? |

Make sure when you get your car back after a service that they have actually reset everything and the next service isn't due for 16000 miles. They havent' always reset mine. RRS MY17 SDV6 AB
