OBC Service interval 'siao liao'

[Ahbengdriver]

My 335's service interval indication started at 25,000km and had been gradually going down to 19,000km when 2 days ago I realised it went the other way showing 36,000km:screwedu: :screwedu: :screwedu: :furious:

Should I send it back to PML to checko wats the problemato or just get the guys at J4C to reset the damn thing?:juggle:

i think there are some kind of sensors to determine how dirty the oil is, i hear sometimes it goes up and most of the time it counts down.... so i guess you'll have to ask your CSA about it

36000 seems crazy, talk to the SA, unless you changed engine oil.

The newer engines have a an oil quality sensor now which compares the capacitance of the oil over time. As chips and other contaminants build up the capacitance changes indicating a "dirtier oil to the car. The condition based servicing actually helps to determine when the car actually has dirty oil rather than just follow the fixed intervals as in the past. If you did not change/top up oil it should not go back up and in my opinion it should be back to max 25000 anyway.

Hi Ah beng driver....i heard from friends that sometimes when you whack the engine hard, the obc will show a much faster decrease in service interval then when you go back to normal driving, it may actually increase. Hope this helps
