Default Blinking "oil" in odometer...

On startup the word oil is blinking on the odometer those this mean that I am due for service or should I put more oil? Odometer is at around 20600 miles. I have a 30V so my schedule for oil change is at 22500?

Service. First time this happened to me, I got weirded out, too. Supposedly, this goes on about 650 miles before a scheduled service. Did you have the 15K service done early? HPH

Mine has generally gone off about 1000 miles AFTER the service (7500 and 15,000 mile services done; 98.5 30V). And yes, the dealer sez he reset the indicator!.

I'm guessing that either due to hard driving or (maybe) an early 15,000 mile service computer feels it's due again.

Talk to the dealer; you get free support (you're still under 3 yr warranty, aren't you?)
