No 15k mile service?

[W Cole]

Tell me if this makes any sense. My car currently has 19k miles and its saying it can go for another 7k miles before the next oil change. I purchased the car used with 13k miles and have not done any type of service since I purchased it. Shouldn't it have required an oil change right around 15k miles?

Its possible the previous owner did a low mile oil change but I was under the impression that doing so would not affect any of the service counters?

Thanks,

I believe the very first service is due at 1200 miles. Then, the next one is required at 13,000 miles. Then, I believe the next is due at 26,000 miles. So what it is telling you is correct.

What a lot of people do on the forum here is pay for themselves to have it changed between the scheduled services. For example, they'll change it themselves at around 7-8k miles, have the dealership change at 13,000, change it themselves again at 20,000, and so on.. I know that's what I'm doing.

Just call the dealer and confirm all the proper services have been done - they should be able to pull the records for the car. They are based on mileage, but also time. So you can't be certain at what mileage a service was done...
