Service interval increasing

crashandburn45 · 03-11-2009, 09:26 PM

I noticed my service interval said 1500 at ODO 13000, now at 14500 it reads 2000. Why the change?

Different driving conditions. OBC calculates your miles based on how the last x amount of miles were driven (where x is a number I've long ago forgotten). If your driving conditions have changed recently, it'll be reflected in the new remaining mileage.

hmmm, 13000 was about the same time I installed my JB3. Coincidence?

Holy shit! A real answer and no sarcasm. We must be in better moods!

I can only image they are related.

Plus One.
The system is programmed to monitor driving style and conditions to come up with an approximate estimate. It can vary with changes to, lets say, you daily commute to work.

Why the interval was postponed after installing the Juice Box beats me.

It also takes into account how hot the weather is how how often you drive in that weather. Very cool.

That's what happens when the question isn't a complete failure or has been posted ten million times (or isn't about music).
