Engine oil replacement required

Hi all

I got my cars serviced by a friend of mine about 6 months ago. He changed oil, filter but today I got message saying engine oil replacement required. Car is just shy of 50k and I have done about 6k since service. Is this a generic message that comes up after so many miles? Or was this because it hasn't been reset and is approaching the 50k mark?

Thanks

He probably didn't reset light when oil changed

You can reset it but don't rely on the message to change oil as it will assume oil changed now and will then count down.

Just trying to figure out how often it comes on after being reset. Is it 10k or else one year? As it's been nether. Or is there some sort of sensor to tell u when it needs done?

Your handbook will be able to tell you, on mine you hold down brake and accelerator turn the key to pos 2 then wait for the message to clear.

around12k , pcm does a calculation based on various factors and oil change can be earlier
