My oil monitor started at 16,000 and now reads 15,000, after 4,000 miles of highway driving. Ditto the above about the mileage shown being the mileage when service is required. Also note that the engine air filter gets replaced every third oil change. It would probably be helpful to remind the dealer of this when you take it in for the third oil service.
The other monitors are interesting:
The pollen filter started out at 27,000 and now reads 23,000. Does it go by how hard the HVAC fan is running? If so, that explains it, it's hot right now and the HVAC is running at full blast most of the time.
The brakes started at 27,000 front / 34,000 rear and now read something like 39,000 front / 45,000 rear. Does it calculate how hard and how much you are using the brakes?
Inspection started at 30,000 and now reads 27,000. I'm not sure if the date changed.
I think the brake fluid (every 2 years), emissions inspection (every 5), and spark plug replacement (every 100k miles) are static.
The manual doesn't say anything about when the wiper blades get replaced. I think it used to be every oil service, but this isn't mentioned in the E90 manual. Anyone know?
