Brigante Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Driving along today my fuel service light pinged on the motorway and still pings up on starting the car Does it genuinely mean the oil needs changing or does it automatically come on after a certain period and the message just need clearing? I ask because prior to buying the car, the dealership said they would service it for me, including the oil, and stamped/wrote in the book to say this. I have only had the car sinse mid december so if the dealer did change the oil as part of the service, surely it wont already need changing now?

iantt Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Sonds like they didnt reset it when they serviced it, when you say fuel service light you mean oil service light? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
