I have been getting this message intermittently so today I got my IIDTool out and reset the service counter, message gone. Would I be right in assuming that if anything needs doing it will just come back or another light will appear on the dash. I did get 10L of oil and a filter so could change it but the car has only done about 7k since the last service and will only do about 3k to the next (12 months) - is it possible that they "forgot" to reset the counter?

I got one between scheduled services and was actually due to the diesel content in the oil being above 8% so had to have an oil change (due to me not making as many long journeys anymore and so no prolonged speeds over 50mph). Steve

??? DPF filter full used to happen on the L322 if you didn't do enough long journeys... but in the engine oil? -- On my third Full Fat RR there's nothing like it. |

Don’t ignore the service required notification - your oil is contaminated, probably due to short journeys 2021 L405 Vogue SE 4.4 V8 DIESEL ~ #17 |

Well in my early panic I ordered oil and filter so will change it anyway. However I’ve got to admit to being more than a little confused about wether my car is affected no short journeys, obviously it doesn’t use ad blu and it’s a v8 not a v6 also the indicator is “dumb” it doesn’t actually check the oil.

Changed the oil today, well paid someone to do it, as a precaution. Unfortunately I now know why I bought some new wet wipes to clean the oily steering wheel - they put a cover on the seat.

I honestly don’t think you can look at oil and judge if it is still fit for purpose..

Sorry Stan, when I pay someone to do something I don't watch them I just go somewhere else and drink tea - so I didn't see the old oil. Just picked the car up when he rang me to say it was ready, there was a bit of oil left over he gave it to me and said it was for "topping up" as diesels can use oil and then showed me how to check the oil level - I feigned interest.
