Wouldn't this message pop-up approaching 15K miles instead of 10K miles?

Sounds about right. 5K then 10k...

Default well, service intervals are every 10K miles starting at 5K miles, so it would make sense

that the message would pop-up approaching 15K, so I think something is not right...

Default I have the same thing. Dealer didn't reset the program corectly at your 5K service.

Take it back to the dealer to reset. They shouldn't even make you wait if you tell them you are coming.

If you don't drive it too hard. They didn't reset the service indicator after the 5k service.

Default I also have this message. Does anyone NOT have the 10K message???? Although the dealer only covers

the 15K service, it is still recommended to service at 10K... So I still think it's correct as it's an indicator of your car needing service and not an indicator of your car's next FREE service! Please, correct me if I'm wrong.

Default HIJACK! Days till service

Also had a service indicator question: sorry for the thread hijack.

Anyway: I'm at 3900 miles roughly on my '04 Dolphin.

The service indicate says 1100 miles until service (which is expected for the first 5K interval). But then it says 280 days...????

WTF?

I think it should really be at least 10k intervals, probably more on synthetic oil.
