Service Reminder Added Extra Miles
My service reminder added 1000 miles to the next oil change and no it is not my imagination. Do I have a malfunction or does the computer adjust the mileage according to my driving habits? Do I have internal gremlins?

It adjusts based on driving habits so if you go from a pattern of stop n go to some long trips the service cycle will be adjusted.
Or did you add any oil? The FSS monitors oil quality. Adding oil will dilute out impurities and result in extended service cycle.

Yes, I did add one quart of oil the day before so that explains it. How cool is that? Many thanks for your help.
