"Change Engine Oil" Message

Really?
Last full service on 8/3/24 and just 3.2k miles done since, including 2 trips up into the Highlands and some local stuff.
Citroen Relay 2 litre 18 plate.

Does it have a contamination sensor?

Happened on my fiat
Garage hadn't done whatever. Threatened limp mode (ooer) .
Ended up at fiat garage . They had to (by their rules) change oil and filter before reset.
Expensive

as you know how many miles since it was last done I would just reset the service indicator

 

[Pudsey Bear]

I assume the oil level was checked too.

I don't know about how Fiat do it, but on my Vauxhall there is an "Oil Life Remaining" display - and that number is based purely on maths .... starts at 100% after reset and reduces by 100/365 every day regardless of usage.

You can almost certainly reset this yourself following a set sequence (what the sequence is I don't know but easily found by doing a search on-line).

Hold down the Accelerator for 60 secs, then pump the brake 7 times, wait for 60 secs then turn off the ignition. You then wait a further 60 secs and all should be returned back to normal

Now you all tell me !
I did expect Fiat to do some kind of reset .

They should as part of the service

I think you can certainly expect a service light reset, and if they are anything like Merc dealers, that's about all you can expect.

Thanks all. Before doing the obvious reset, I was wondering if there could be anything more sinister going on other than forgetfulness of the servicing garage. Seems like reset is the way to go.

Thanks. The one I use is similar, but no brake pumping, just holding brake and accelerator down together. It's good to have a back up tho in case mine doesn't work this time.

They didn't do service . Was in the west country and just wanted it reset .
They said that as Fiat dealers they would have to change oil and filter before reset .
May well be Fiat rules but .....

Occasionally reset the flashing oil light service indicator on our work van (though it's serviced every 10k after a replacement engine at 80k ..)

Did once have an oil quality/change oil warning on our last works boxer ....

Just before it seized the engine solid due to a £20 cold start sensor failing and injecting extra diesel into the engine,on the motorway ....
