Prolong service schedule
Hello Folks
The car has been "complaining" for Service G for the past 2 weeks but due to my tight schedule (alot of business travels during the week), had not had the chance to bring it in. For a 3.5 year old car, the car only has 18K miles and I suspect this Service G popped up due to the length of time from the last service and nothing to do with the miles traveled.
Any harm to continue delaying the service. I don't forsee getting around to service my car for at least another month.
Any thoughts???
Thanks in advance

With that mileage another month would not make a big difference in any case.

When was it serviced previously? The first service (in Europe at least) could easily be after 18k miles but not even in Europe after 3.5 years. My car estimates 29500 km for the first service, unless two years comes first. This is what the car was designed for even if the official service intervals in the US are much shorter.
With that mileage another month would not make a big difference in any case.

The car went in for Service B around 11K miles. At 15K, I went ahead and paid for another round of Oil Change. BUT since the car is hardly driven, coupled with the broken window issue my wife experienced over a month ago, the car had been sitting idle.
I guess I will delay it further (unintentionally due to my numerous business travels) before bringing it in for the Service G that it wants
Thanks again
