Quick service indicator question

Featured Replies

I did a full "inspection" 20k service at the start of June resetting the service indicator after. However just a couple of months on the oil service indicator has lit up. Should it have reset the counter for that at the same time?

What do people suggest I do now? Reset given it'll light up just a few miles over the usual schedule or do an oil change despite the present oil only been a couple of months old? Is there any other options?

Mine has a mind of its own too, never comes on when it's supposed to, but randomly came on the other week. I'm leaving it flashing until I next service it, and will reset it then.

You could just reset it if it's bugging you and see if it does it again?

Yeah thinking that might be the best option especially given it's so close following doing it. I just assumed resetting the inspection indicator would reset the oil timer too given the inspection service includes an oil change.

Manual suggests that OIL indicator will flash shortly after service indicator cleared if both services close together . No further explanation given,but perhaps it means that there's two indicators running concurrently and both have to be cleared consecutively

Mine too is a little strange, I've done about 13k and posted this thread a few weeks ago asking the same question. Since then the light has come on at around 12k but pretty much bang on to the day of one year ownership. Why it didn't come on after 10k miles I'm not sure! Mines still on - I'm leaving it until the next service to reset it then.

Okay so I've worked it out now. Decided to reset the indicator seen as I did the oil change so recently. Check my Haynes manual turns out if you reach both service intervals you have to do the reset procedure twice which I didn't do hence the service light coming on now. Oops

Ben - that is one way of interpreting what the Skoda manual says. As I said on earlier post, I take it that both are running independently, but concurrently, but both need to be cleared consecutively( i.e ,clear the inspection one ,then the oil one).I find that I get the oil one popping on at funny periods. Being old fashioned ( and knowing that the interville is not variable,but fixed), I always keep a note of date/mileage of last oil change and work on that.
