When was my oil changed?

Is this info in the engineering menu somewhere? I know the car reminds you when it is due but the oil is really dirty and am just curious how much longer until its due.

The onboard computer (not comand) should tell you how many days till next service. It is under the Serv menu and called Assyst plus. It not be accurate if they didn't reset it last time. Normally I check my receipts to verify.

if it says b3 service is due that means that your oil has not been changed in over a year.
If b3 service is due and you say your oil looks dirt then why do you have to know how many miles ago or the date of your last oil change?
It doesn't matter! Go change your oil... Now!

I seems like i just had it changed not to long ago. They don't stick the little reminder sticker on the windshield so i assumed there was a way to see how many miles are left. I'm not doing the whole b3 service either.

Sorry to hijack your thread OP but I have a question that tags along.

I bought my used car in February and the oil was changed by an MB Indi Used by the Dealer.

I know the car will be 4 years old in September, and I know the previous owner took it in for regularly scheduled maintenance.

My question is the Computer says I have an A service due in 10000 miles. Should I follow the computer or is a B service due since the car is 4 years old?

currently 3.5 years old and 26000 miles.

But you said the oil looks dirty. If you just had it changed recently that makes little sense.
