Oil quality is measured in the sump by the sensor that calculates soot content and this is calculated in the dash and counted up from 0 until the criterion for high soot is reached,also the dash counts up the days.So when the adaption channel is reset the clock is ticking depending on the above factors.Topping up with more than half a litre of non long life oil will reduce expected interval time,also the bonnet switch is used as a reference point for top ups

Pr number qg2 Time and distance 12 months 10,000 miles.
So the fact my car counted down the service requirement to Nov 08 i.e. 1 year after purchase, shows the dealer is lying in completing the service book as "longlife" and also telling me this over the phone?

It wouldn't be so bad if the car didn't drink so much oil (yes I've used the correct oil).........I'm on the 4th litre bottle from new to 8,500 miles......seems like it's on a gradual oil change anyway!!
