Is this a record...major service last Nov (3 months ago), 1800 miles since - "Service Required" pops up on dash. I've had the car 18 months, 10,000 miles, this is oil change no.4. Not happy! The car is a MY16 3.0 Autobiography with 40k miles. I do a mix of driving - in fact since the last service over 50% has been on motorways, the rest a mix of town and rural b roads.

If I get told one more time it's "because of my driving style" I'll flip out! It's not - it's because of the architecture of the engine - it will always happen and can be managed but never eliminated...

Hi,
that does seem excessive

our 3.0D dynamic 2016 we had for 2 years and from 16k to 34k miles and there was no record of any interim oil change prior (full history seen) and for the 2 services we had done the last came up a month or so early from memory but thats it.

I would be looking at getting an oil analysis done to confirm if it really is getting diluted
(the car does not do an analysis its a calculation from data I think )

this would rule out (or in) if its a real problem or if it needs an update to the system/calculation thats saying it needs doing

if the car thinks 2+2=6 it always will until its told different (istr there has been an software update for this?)
