Hi all, I have a query, I have just had the oil cooler replaced on my RR and obviously the engine oil and filter were replaced at the same time. Now I asked my indy whether they reset the service interval as the oil and filter has been changed and they said no as it is not a service they do not reset it, is this normal?

Now in the scheme of things I dont really mind as I am happy that the oil has been changed which helps with the whole dilution thing and also that I am not going to do that much mileage before it's next annual service where the oil will be changed again.

I am just curious as to whether when replacing the oil and filter yourself do you reset the service indicator so that the miles to service goes back up or not? _______________________________________________

I reset mine after each oil and filter change even though I only do a full service, air and pollen and fuel filters every 2nd year, because it resets the oil/ fuel dilution calculation figure, for the new oil to zero.

I was a little surprised that they didn't reset as I had intended to when I was about to change the oil myself but didn't bother as it was going in for the oil cooler replacement. Not sure whether I should reset it myself now or just leave it as is until it's annual service in November.  _______________________________________________

it should be reset! do it yourself its easy. overfinch modified

I just did an oil change (6months) and just reset mine. Have it done every 12 months at Indy and they do MOT as well. They also reset to service indicator, I think oil condition is probably the most important thing on a service so why not reset it. Geoff

So what would be the best way to reset miles to next service after changing the oil then? I have just tried to do it with an iCarSoft LR v3 and it wouldn't do it, error was 'failed to communicate'? Is there a better way to do it? _______________________________________________

I think it's pretty well documented I did something that involved opening the bonnet, cycling the ignition, opening the drivers door and pressing both pedals, seemed to work with no gadgets involved. Geoff

Reset it. Oil dilution calculations have to be reset. They should know that.
An L405 can be done via some pedal combinations. Search on here or YouTube or invest in a gap IID Bluetooth Gone to a good home: 2011 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE Buckingham Blue with Ivory and clear glass = "Rory"

Well done Kot, I think I used this video- simples- no need to bother with IDTool or iCarSoftLRv3 (whatever that is) Geoff

Cheers Kot, followed the video, worked perfectly and mileage reset. I still dont understand why they did not reset when they knowingly had to change the oil but hey-ho, it is so easy to do now that I know I can do it myself.  _______________________________________________

Changing the oil is only a small aspect of a service... There are many safety checks carried out at time of service and if the rest of the service and vital service checks were not carried out? Why would you expect a garage to reset the annual service light? Doesn't make sense to me sir...

Now if your mechanically savvy and understand the nuances with oil dilution etc etc, then I can understand why you would want the oil degradation meter resetting.

However, you must see the awkward position you would put the garage in, asking them to reset the service schedule having not carried out the rest of the service... No?

If (as I always do) change the oil more often than required I do a reset if for nothing else that to turn of the annoying warning every time I start the car. I get the car serviced and MOTd annually anyway.

Just to make it clear this is what I do it is not advice. Geoff

I understand the garages point of view and it makes perfect sense and I am indeed only thinking about the oil dilution potential. I have an annual service regardless of mileage so that covers pretty much everything else. I was only really curious as I will be doing my own oil change between services and just wanted to know if there was any particular reason why I wouldn't reset the mileage indicator then? _______________________________________________
